Color Blocks Catch Up -- Grandma's Album (vol. 2)

I just finished machine quilting Grandma's Album, an adorable little quilt from Color Blocks: Volume 2.  


Rather than using scraps, I made this quilt with a collection of fabric:  Stag & Thistle from Natural Born Quilter (Brett Lewis) for Northcott Fabrics.  The fabric is out of print now so I treasure the dress, tablecloth, cloth napkins, and other items I've made with this gorgeous fabric.

I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent at my home sewing machine finishing this quilt with continuous curve and ribbon candy:


free-motion feathers:


and free-motion background stitching around the monogram:


Color Blocks: Volume 2 is free until I finish all of the content.  If you enroll now, Grandma's Album and all other patterns and tutorials will be yours forever; only new enrollments will have a cost attached.

*While I'm not running a new Color Blocks scrap quilting class for 2026, I am taking this year to finish the content that is sporadically missing from Color Blocks: volumes 1-5.
