Two fabric quilt.

For the past few months I've been posting blocks for the two color quilt I have been working on.

I was able to finish it for Christmas! I received a little bit of fabric, which was enough for the binding.

So without further ado : Tim's quilt.

Christmas present

I love meandering!!! It's do calming. An easy!

Two fabric quilt block 13, 14 & 15

I don't have a name for this block, but it's pinwheels! you can't go wrong with that!

Winged arrow.

I didn't find a name for this one online.

Two color quilt block 11 & 12

I believe this one is called a double "z" block.  I like the way the colors against the white look.

This one is a bunch of hour glass blocks.  I think I might have liked it more if I would have made the colored fabric the background color. 

Missing fabric update

Well I was unable to find the fabric I needed. No one I knew had any, and one employee at Joann's told me she remembered it going on clearance, which means I'm out of luck :(

I did find this one fabric at wal-mart, that I'd thought about using in the border. (You can see the shades are similar, but the wal-mart print was definitely more green.

But I think I've found a layout that shall work. And once it's done I'll share it with you all :)

Two fabric quilt block 9 & 10

This block is a bunch of bow tie blocks put together! I love it!  It almost looks like a bunch of circles!

This one I believe is called an amish square.  Or that is one name I found online. 

On the search for fabric. . .

Hello! I have been posting about my two fabric quilt on Thursdays, well the darker fabric I picked, I ran out of, and even after being to 5 Jo-Ann stores, I cannot find it ANYWHERE!!

So I was wondering if a) anyone else has happened to see it at a Jo-Ann's and could get me the SKU b) anyone has some at their home they would be willing to sell me?

I was hoping to finish this quilt by Christmas, but I am not sure what I will do now that I have run out of a key fabric (I really thought I had enough!)

Here is a picture of the fabric.  It's brown with green and blue dots/circles.  This was NOT a clearance fabric.  I bought it off their calico wall.

(I don't even have enough fabric at home to take a picture of just the fabric!)

Thank you SO much!

Two fabric quilt block 7 & 8

While I was in the DC area I got quite a bit of sewing done.  It's tough to sew when you travel, because you never know how much to bring.  I ended up being just a little short, but I still got quite a bit done!

 Churn dash.  I enjoyed making this block.  I think it would make a great ispy quilt!

Ohio star (done correctly!) Although when I did it, I did it wrong and had to rip half of it out to get the "star" to be going the right way.  I could see this one being pretty as a three color way block.

Two fabric quilt block 6

Well things have been speeding up! so I don't have as much time to sew as I would like.  But every once in a while I get something done ;)Well things have been slowing down, so I don't have as much time to sew as I would like. But every once in a while I get something done :)

Two fabric Quilt Block 5

One lone block today.

Shoo fly.  I am not sure how this block got it's name, but I like it :)

Friendship Star

Two fabric quilt block 1 & 2

I am going to show you some blocks I have been working on, and in a few weeks you'll see the finished quilt!

The first block is one you have actually already seen, so I will just link to it : Jacobs ladder block

Here is the second one

I found this block in one of my quilting books, it said it was called Pennsylvania.

Testing blocks

Does anyone else test a block out before they make it for a quilt?  I do that sometimes when I haven't done it before, just to make sure it's the right size, and so I know that I am doing it correctly.

Here is a tester block I did today.

This was SUPPOSED to be Ohio star, but I should have switched the square red and white pieces.   I do like how it turned out (minus the few corners that don't match up!) but I do like how it looks.  I think I might do one following the pattern and see which one I like best for the quit I am making.
