What's a Moolon Lily?

Moolon Lily...

This month's SVBAQ block was Moolon Lily. Honestly, I'm not sure what a "moolon lily" is, so I performed many types of searches to see if I could uncover any information....I was not lucky in my discovery searches, so the mystery remains.

My entire quilt is being sewn using batiks and I decided to make the leaves on this block both green and blue for a different look. I am still practicing my needle turn applique; I'll perfect it one day. This block was all hand sewn.

So how do you all determine how long one block takes to sew? I estimated this block was 3 days to complete.  Not 3 consecutive days, but say I start sewing at 7PM and don't finish an area until about 2AM; then pick it up from 10AM to 3PM and so on...and in between do the laundry, vacuum, clean the dishes, etc.  I mean...I guess I just sew really slow.. HAHAH

Funniest thing I heard while sewing this block...That looks so easy, you'll be done with that by the end of the day, right? (side ways look.....Probably NOT)

If you squint REALLY hard, there is a hidden tiny baseball in this block. Well, my version of a baseball anyway.

Still not too late to join in on the fun!  You can still purchase your pattern through the quilt museum and join the sew along journey with everyone..

SUNFLOWERS Blooming...

SUNFLOWER

Sunflower

Where on earth have I been?  Well, it's baseball time and life sort of stands still during this season for this family. We are die hard Washington Nationals Fans, have season tickets and, well, are at the ball park pretty much every time they are in town.

I do have a lot of catching up to do, but did want to share this cute little SUNFLOWER block. It was from June. Because I don't have enough things going on, and I have a bunch of blocks to catch up on, I all of sudden decided to hide little items in all the blocks.  I started designing the label already, which will have a sort of scavenger hunt feel to it. Silly? Yes, but YOLO!! :-)

Can you see what's hidden in this block?

I found this site with 9 cool things about Sunflowers.. WHO KNEW!!

It was really exciting to see ALL the finished sunflowers last month, because they were all totally different.  That's what makes this project so much fun; we are following the same pattern, but each person has a totally different approach to completing it.

Still not too late to join in on the fun!  You can still purchase your pattern through the quilt museum and join the sew along journey with everyone..

Scrappy Wacky Block

The Scrappy Wacky Block 

This is the final block for my Guild for this season. It's almost June and I was thinking people must have a good collection of scraps, I know I do! This pattern is super simple to put together.  I didn't color coordinate, I just pulled 9 scraps out of my bin, made sure they were large enough, and created this block.

This is a 10.5" UNFINISHED Block.

I'm wondering if I can do a scrap buster quilt by randomly selecting scraps and sewing together different ways? I know there's tons of patterns out there, but maybe I'll just wing it and see how it comes together.  Who knows...maybe there will be a scrappy wacky quilt in my future.

Check out the Centreville Guild BOM blog for the pattern:

Have a wonderful week and enjoy the sunshine.
