To-Do #1
For the first month participating in a block-of-the-month sew along, we love our green block. All the details were shared just a few days ago in the Color of the Month Block Connection post. Now that it’s February, we can start working on the pretty pink block.
To-Do #2
The first of four Dr Seuss quilts to be made this quarter is finished. Are you tired of hearing about them already? We used a navy solid Kona for the sashing, borders and binding. Quilting consists of good ole straight line stitching with my walking foot in both directions for a diamond-shaped crosshatch design. My favorite!
To-Do #3
Ooh, the February Bee Hive block is a fun one! It’s called Fizzy for our ‘queen’ Amanda, and this is her sample. On the right are our fabrics. I love that pink dotted fabric on top – I have never seen that before!! I wonder what and when we picked that up?! This is a good use for it though. I’ll be tracing some half circles and giving them a try. Fingers crossed.
February OMG
Our February goal with Patty at Elm Street Quilts is to complete a quilt top from the Make Mine a Double quilt block. These fabrics have been chosen, and they provide us much inspiration! Also, here’s the layout of our test block.

I really want to see your ‘Make Mine a Double’ quilt top! The test block looks great and I think your fabric choices are spot on. 🙂 Thanks for linking to MCM!
You are chugging right along there! Plenty to do and you seem to be managing it all rather well – always nice to see.
Yay for a successful week!! Now on to the next week’s success
Looking forward to seeing your fizzies. I have mine cut out, but am dragging my feet to do those curves.
Hello Roseanne, It is always so nice to read about all of the projects you are working on and the progress you have made or even that you have finished it! I hope that you continue to have a great time creating projects for this week! Have a fantastic day!!
I am definitely not sick of your Dr. Seuss quilts. They are so cute, and that sashing is perfect. I’m impressed with your start on the Fizzy block. I’m hoping to start working on mine next weekend. Have a great day, Mary.
Love that double block! You have a busy week ahead, but I know you’ll get ‘er done! No squirrels allowed (haha, right!).
Another busy week for you two! Love the second Dr. Seuss quilt! I LOVE the fizzy block — how cool!
I like the layout of your make it a double block! Thanks for the link!
