Two Bucks A Block Quilt Layout Plan from Podunk Pretties

In my last post I had a set in stone plan to start pressing and cutting for the alternate block of my 2 Bucks a Block quilt.  I couldn't wait to see this quilt come to life.


The 2 Bucks a Blocks are all made from various lines of Lori Holt fabric so I pulled every Lori background print in my stash but came up one short of what was needed for my quilt. Well poo.  Oh well, any ole low volume print will work.  The green polka dot in the very back of this bin is a Moda ...

Block One ~ 2 Bucks A Block ~ Back Door Quilts from Podunk Pretties

 On Saturday I packed up the sewing machine and headed down the road about a mile to my neighbor Judy's house for a little sewing time.  We both signed up for the 2 bucks a block at our local quilt shop, Back Door Quilts.  Since Judy is fairly new to quilting, we will be doing these blocks together.  

This fidgety little block is not beginner friendly.  Normally I would suggest a new quilters first few blocks be a little larger, at least 12 inches.  It gives you a little more wiggle room for mistakes.  But we both loved the ...
