QAL by the Sea

 This QAL was a lot of fun, in total 12 blocks over a few months. I joined late, however managed to make all 12 blocks in time. My OMG for November was to make the last three blocks of segment 3, and not only did I make these, I also managed to make all 4 blocks from segment 1. I used only fabric I already had. To keep a link between the different blocks, each fabric was used at least twice, even if in very small pieces.

Not sure yet how  I am going to finish the top, that will be something for next year ... there are some lovely ideas passing through my feed on IG.


 

Our new kitten Chataigne approves clearly.

OMG November QAL by the Sea Segment 3

Thank you confinement - you are great for my creativity. The only hick-up is that I now have so many projects on my plate .... why are there so many QALs going on, I think I participate in four different ones .... plus the other two quilt tops that I made and need finishing ... 

So my choice of OMG November is to focus on the QAL by the sea decided to make all the blocks of segment 3 and potentially at least two of segment 1; I was late to the party and need to catch up as well. There are 4 blocks per segment and for segment 2 all are finished. 

The QAL is organized by a group of designers and each making their own versions of the blocks:  

Abbie Danahy @ Sparkle On!
Becca Fenstermaker @ Pretty Piney Quilts
Jennifer Fulton @ Inquiring Quilter
Karen Thurn @ Tu-Na Quilts, Travels, and Eats
Laura Piland @ Slice of Pi Quilts
Sherry Shish @ Powered by Quilting   
Sandy Maxfield @ SandyStar Design

I started on segment 3, block 9 needs some more applique sewing and block 10 - 12 are pending. 

 


So in November will need to make the pending blocks, sew the applique in place and add embroidery as applicable 

The theme is the sea and the blocks are great. I am learning a lot about applique, something I was not very interested in so far. 

Making this quilt in Covid-19 times is great as I dream of summer and use my stash.
