Postage Stamp Quilt

The Postage Stamp quilt is moving right along, sometimes I only do one block in a day and then other times I get three done like I did yesterday.  As you all know after I took it off the wall I said I needed to make it about 2 or 3 rows longer, I will take another photo of the whole quilt after I add another row on to it.  Right now these 5 blocks are just stuck to the wall – I need 8 for a row.  I am linking to Sew Fresh Quilts today and Freshly Pieced and one more – My Quilt Infatuation.

For the last several days I have been working on circles  for the Quilty 365 quilt and I now have 104 done – I will lay them all out at the beginning of the month when Audrey has her next link up.  At this point I should have 80 done and so I am ahead of the schedule – that is ok with me as I found I couldn’t do one a day, it just didn’t work out for me, I do better when I do a lot of them over one or two days instead –

Diamonds are Forever is moving along pretty well.

I really enjoy working on it almost every evening.  I am now on Season 3 of the Goodwife and I’m still enjoying it.

I was looking through the patterns on Craftsy and saw this one the other day – such a cute pattern for Valentines Day.  It is called Zig Zag Love by Hope’s Quilt Design.  Hope is from Australia and the pattern is $8.50 through Craftsy.  I have gotten a couple of free patterns from Craftsy but I must admit I have not looked through the quilting patterns all that much.  This one would be kind of cute for a table topper it is 25 inches x 21.5 inches – says a charm package will do with 5/8’s yard for background.  Click either on the photo or the name of the pattern to lead you to it to view if you are interested.  There are quite a few other patterns with Valentine themes – I have barely started to look – so many and some are free.

    I usually prep some circles ahead as well or I get behind!

    Love seeing those Postage Stamp blocks growing!
    You really have made some progress on quilting Diamonds Are Forever! Seems like this one is going really fast!
    Cannot wait to see your circles all spread out….

    I am only doing a scrappy hexagon quilt. I can not even imagine trying to do any type of pattern with them. I did do a table topper in pink in a pattern, but that was small.

    You have gotten a lot of circle blocks done. Seeing them in the tub got me thinking about how all the different bloggers will quilt their circle quilts. Should be interesting. The heart quilt is too cute!
