More tiny quilts

After signing up for the Hitty Charm Quilt challenge, I got thinking about the original Hitty's summer quilt, and decided to give that one a try. It is reminiscent of a single spiral log cabin block, and it requires partial seams for each log. The logs are added round and round instead of being added in opposing pairs. I found a block diagram for it once, but at the moment I can't locate it! I was hoping to get started tonight, but I think now I will just plan it now and start it tomorrow after school.

I also printed out all the Pat Sloan Farmer's Market blocks to date from her blog, and I'll pack them to take to the Dear Jane Retreat in Shipshewana with me. Hand applique will be very relaxing to do in the van and while visiting.

Itty Bitty Charm Quilt

Yesterday a challenge was issued on Hittygirls. I will receive a kit of 16 pre-cut charm squares in the mail to create a Charm Quilt that measures 5.5 X 6.5 inches. They will be prints and solids and I can add my own fabrics too. That sounds like fun. I think I'll cut a few 1.5 inch squares later today and make a practice quilt for my Hitty.

Have you seen the new webcam at Pat Sloan's Blog? She has it aimed at her design wall so we can watch her work in progress. There is a block swap on the wall now, but she will be changing it out later today.
