Instagram Inspiration....

Instagram is addicting.  I can waste hours looking at Instagram...it used to be Pinterest that pulled me away from what I should be doing.  I still have binge Pinterest sessions, but I think IG is here to stay.

It's funny because it doesn't take long, before you pick up on what is 'hot' on IG.  There has been a fun curvy block floating around....sort of a wedding ring meets the flowering snowball.  Finally, I had to investigate and found it is the January Block designed by Liz at Lady Harvatine.


I purchased the block...great buy at $4!  And printed it off!  Made templates...started stitching!

It has curves...and is probably a little more challenging than the Flowering Snowball.

But I love curves!  And I am quite smitten with this block!

       
One block down and one cut out!  Looks like I have another start!


What's your latest start?
happy thursday

  1. Thanks to you my latest start will be this block that I saw on your IG feed....tracked it down, bought it and have printed it ready for the weekend! I loved Flowering Snowball and love the look of this block as well! I am quite intrigued by curves at the moment! Gotta love IG , blogs and the internet in general for providing us with endless inspiration! ...oh and PDF patterns available instantly!

  6. My latest start turned into a finished quilt top. Last week I started the free Primitive Sampler from Primitive Quilts and Projects. It was so much fun to work on I couldn't stop. Love your block. Hugs

  8. My last start was my Four-in-Art mini! But now that it's finished I'm thinking of cutting into my last DS purchase and do a triangle quilt- your way! It's been on the list for way too long!

  9. Oh my goodness. I saw you mention this block on IG. It was easy to look at and say, "That's a gorgeous lillte block" and move on. Now that you've posted about it, I have to look at the pattern and add it to my list. The flowering snowball I made in yout QAL is still my most favorite quilt I have ever made and now THIS. Oh my. My latest start was a clamshell quilt, until I can start this block.
