Pat Sloan's I Love To Make Quilts

FREE Sew along Block #1 Childhood Games!

** Block #1 **

It's so exciting to finally get the Childhood games started!!   I went with the game that more people suggested than any other, Hide and Seek! I am excited to use this fabric where the animals seem like they are playing hide and seek in the forest. 

The light for the block is the lightest green in my bundle.

Was it one of your favorite games as a kid? Do your kids or grand kids play it? Any fun variations? tell me in the comments below!

** TIPS **

• When cutting from a bundle ONLY cut what is needed
• Here you can see we need just one more rectangle, so that is all I cut. I do not cut a length of fabric piece to get that last rectangle. I just just one last rectangle

• When using Directional Fabric be sure you have them laid out correctly
• NOTE - the sloth is hanging upside down from the tree... I kept wanting to turn him!
• If you want to learn more about fussy cutting fabric I highly recommend this book https://amzn.to/2tYMLst

*** Traffic Jam in Gray ***

I'm super excited to play with these happy fabrics!! They remind me of my childhood with bright colors and darling prints. 

I wanted you to see the stitch in action, so here it is running on my Babylock Solaris

The Jubilant also has this stitch, see below

And the Jubilant has this stitch!  

This is a fantastic machine that also has the blanket stitch I love! it's light weight, perfect for a 2nd machine, a travel machine and as a primary machine! 

44% off the Jubilant with my link http://shrsl.com/1fdj5 AND you might qualify for free shipping! 

*** Traffic Other Colors I played with ***

During the month I experimented with many color combinations, these will each become a new quilt this year as I sew 2 patch and then 4 patch units while I sew other things.

I like the one with the charcoal gray corners as the '+' is all random scrappy prints!  

I hope you will keep making Traffic Jam quilts! 

This one is for my brother and it has been quilted with binding on, so it is all ready to ship out in a few weeks.
