Spot's Day For The 30 Quilt Blocks In 30 Days Blog Hop

Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks came up with a very cool idea for sewing simple blocks

to make quick quilts. Then she asked a bunch of us to get creative with those simple blocks and

organized us into the 30 Quilt Blocks in 30 Days blog hop. Great idea...thanks, Carla!

I chose block number 21, SPOT, for today's project.

I immediately thought of the books from my days as a kid in school.

I always liked Spot!

Making the Spot block was so easy!

Carla's instructions for Spot can be found HERE.

These are the measurements for the Spot 10" finished block:

I added a circle in the center, borders, and some dogs using an Accuquilt die that I've had

forever. Of course, I named the quilt, "Spot." The fabrics are by Riley Blake Designs.

The photos were taken in a St. George, Utah, park. I love the dragon!

This little girl and her dogs seemed like an appropriate photo prop!

I love my "crew" who is always there to lend a hand.
It was too cold for him to run through the water at the splash pad.

Quilted Works used a dog design for the quilting...see the little paws!

Thanks for stopping by to see "Spot!"

Sweet Sixteen Is Here For The 30 Quilt Blocks In 30 Days Blog Hop

Today's the today for me to share my Sweet Sixteen block for the

30 Quilt Blocks in 30 Days Blog Hop and I'm so excited about it!

Carla at Creatin' in the Sticks had this amazing idea to create 30 easy blocks

to sew into easy quilts. She's always rocking my world with her creativity!

She asked a whole bunch of us to grab a block and make a project.

The Sweet Sixteen block was a great block to get creative with. So fun!

Carla shared her tutorial for the block HERE.

I used this easy-to-sew block to make

Run, Duck, Run

This guy is ready to go!

Quilting was done by Barbara at Coral Canyon Quilting

Our adventure for taking pictures took us to a museum in Hurricane, Utah

The back was pieced with fabric used on the front...Andover Dimples

To make Carla's Sweet Sixteen block:

Sew 3” x 12” yellow rectangles to 3” x 12” white rectangles in order shown below;

press seams down. Repeat to make four sets.

Cut sewn rectangles into 3” strips as shown below. Repeat with other sewn rectangles.

Rotate every other strip and sew together as shown below’ match and nest seams.

Press seams to side. Repeat to make four blocks.

So easy!

You can find the rest of the instructions for Run Duck Run in my
Just Let Me Quilt Craftsy store HERE.
