Pat Sloan's I Love To Make Quilts

My Solstice Top!

Article continues below these Amazon Goodies

Words can not describe how wonderful it has been to make a dream come true. Often we think of things we want to do, and then.. we start but don't finish.. or maybe never start.  But this time was different.

I had dreamed of a website for my free sewalongs. A place where I can publish a block a week. Something fun, organic and not planned to the max.

In other words.. something fun for me to do!

And my other goal was a quilt made in the 182 day Solstice.. and I did it! 

You can click this photo for a larger image of my quilt

I will add a 2" wide outer border as a small frame.

Then I will send my quilt to the 'Spa' to be quilted.... my quilts LOVE going the Spa!

TaDa!!  

Thank you everyone for jumping in, busting your stash, having fun and generally being the most amazing group of quilters I know!

I put our link party here so if you have not loaded your photo, or looked lately, you can see all the incredible ways my design has been done!

If you didn't know yet, my FREE Wed quilt Block, which is posted here at I Love To Make Quilts, is an ongoing project. I am grouping each set of blocks under a theme so that we do 'x' number of blocks that go into one quilt. The first that you are following is 182 days to make a quilt, the Solstice is 25 blocks.

The next Wed quilt starts June 28th and I will post the theme in an article very soon.. but today..let's wrap up The Solstice!

I don't know who is more excited about block 25... you or me! It's called Summer Rose and is a traditional Rosebud quilt block. I am enjoying writing a weekly journal for the pattern, hope you love my 'dive into summer' journal this week!

With the overwhelming 'Yes!' to my coloring pages for doing quilt color auditions, I have another for you. 

.......keep reading to see my finds this weeks deals...

I did a simple side by side, which is super easy to line up as NONE of the points touch where the blocks meet... fun right?  I also flipped the coloration on alternate blocks. It's a super block for scrap busting both your lights & your darks.
