Alternating Blocks

Today I cut out all the pieces for the rest of the 41 Alternating Blocks needed for the queen size quilt in the Quilt Along.

I was pleased to have all the instructions online because it has been awhile since I made the first ones of these blocks.

I now have 27 blocks made, so 14 left to make, hopefully I will get them done this week (as well as a few extra because I used the whole width of the fabric).

These blocks work well together too, but I think they do a great job of setting off the scrap blocks.

I have come to the conclusion that black quilting cotton is hard to find. Last week I had trouble finding enough black for the Granny's Hankie quilt and for this one I had to use two different blacks for the diagonal squares because I couldn't find enough of one.

We braved the cold temps and played out in the snow today. It has been a long time since I have seen so much snow!

Tonight at midnight is the start of One World One Heart 2011 and I will start my giveaway tomorrow.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!
