On the Design Wall


I have a tradition of making a quilt for my great-nephews and great-nieces when their 12th birthday rolls around. 


The next one is in February. This particular great-nephew is a big Legos fan. I found this kit for "Bit 'o Color" at NaLa's after-Christmas sale. The blocks went together in a single day of sewing and watching the New Year's Day snowfall. I'm enjoying looking at them so much, I almost don't want to take them down and sew them together!

What's on your design wall today?

  1. I love the flashes of colour in the middle of each black and white block. Simple but very effective.
    I made some Lego play mats last week and posted the instructions on my blog if you need more ideas! :)

  3. I love the blocks and the fabrics are such fun. I need my kitchen finished then the machine can go back into its space and I can get on with sewing. Work starts on the 20th so not long to wait now.

  5. Amazing how simplicity is so extravagant!!
    I love it. Might be just perfect for my black and white collection. I have collected for years, keep adding new fabrics, but have never been able to cut and sew....wonder if I ever will?
