I’ve had a productive month. Not in any particular order, here’s what I was able to get done in March:
I made one 12.5″ x 15.5″ Mod Modern Mosaic Covered in Love block. This block will be used in a Covered in Love donation quilt for hospice patients in Texas.
I finished my SAHRR 2024 quilt top in the time for the quilt parade. Read about it here.
I made 16 purple blocks for a Rainbow Modern Postage Stamp Quilt that will probably be bumped to 2025. I also made a purple dryer sheet block:
In March I participated in one Project Quilting challenge: Wearables.
I was really tempted to participate in the last 2024 Project Quilting challenge: Irish Chain. I found a You Tube video for an adorable Irish Chain block using Art Gallery Fabrics Lambkin fabric, but I used up that fabric for the back of Christmas placemats last year. I did, however, find a half yard on sale on Etsy for $6.00, so I think I will be be making a cover for the dorm refrigerator in my quilting space for this coming Christmas.
I got the HSTs sewn for my Star Pulse quilt-along project in earlier this month and then used them in the Stitch-and-Flip units pictured below:
I did make Block 4 for Geeky Bobbin’s Fussy Fuel 2024 Block of the Month. I haven’t taken a photo of it because I think I’m going to remake it.
The project that I’ve been working on that I am most excited about is the Violet Craft’s Rainbow Cheetah. I bought the pattern at QuiltCon and have already spent quite a few hours organizing and labeling templates, pulling fabrics, and starting to sew the paper-pieced units. Below is a pic of one of the charts I’m using to organize the fabrics that I’m using on a set of FPP units.
Lastly I wrote a QuiltCon 2024 Recap post that is linked here.
What’s Up for April?
- Make more progress on my Star Pulse Quilt Along project hosted by Quilting Jetgirl.

I like your purples. Is the dryer sheet block using dryer sheets as a backing? Or something else? And how big are your Stitch-and-Flip blocks? How fun to get that Cheetah project going! 🙂
