May 2020 - Day 17

A bit of recreational sewing today.

I don’t often buy a collection of fabric but last year I bought a fat quarter collection of Cocktail Time by Lewis and Irene at a Quilters’ Guild meeting last autumn, at a special price so couldn’t resist. There are 15 fabrics in this collection in some fresh colours,

 They have five different designs of a Mid Century Modern style
 And just look at the selvedge - lots of colourful cocktail glasses!
I wanted to make the blocks from the Youngish Quilters web site.  This is a branch of the Quilters’ Guild, the teenage section of the Young Quilters, which caters for 5 - 18 year olds,  The Youngish Quilters are currently doing a 2020 sew along and several photos have appeared on Instagram so thought I would have a go. There are currently 7 blocks posted on the website.

It’s nice to do ‘Back to Basics’ blocks and today I’ve made blocks 1 - 4 with 5 and 6 in progress.

These aren’t in the right order, though
 Friendship Star - Block 2
 Beggars Block - Block 1
 Ohio Star - Block 4
Churn Dash - Block 3

And blocks 5 and 6 - Windmill blocks - two for the price of one. Currently in progress.

Back to mask making tomorrow.
