Making your Positivity Blocks Scrappy from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

 When I shared my first Positivity Blocks last Sunday, I said I would share how I make my blocks look scrappy.  It is really easy to do.




You can go to the Sew Preeti Blog to get the cut sizes and the block assembly instructions.

The Backsplash Quilt Along from Blossom Heart Quilts

There was such a fantastic community response to the Happy Scrappy QAL, that I just knew we had to have another one ASAP, and this time, we’re using my brand new pattern, Backsplash.

Modern traditional quilt pattern

This is a very special pattern to me, having kept me somewhat sane in the first two months of quaran-down-solation by giving me something to focus on while navigating the parenting and schooling changes thrown my way. And I’m so excited to be sewing another one alongside you! The quilt along starts on Monday, June 1 and continues on through Sunday, July 5th. Here’s ...
