Blocks of the Month...Fabric...Modern Quilt Guild

I'm a little behind on my blocks of the month.  I finished my Riley Blake block in January but didn't finish my Sugar Block Club block because I was so busy working on my seester's quilt. I had also been waiting for my Free Spirit fat quarter bundle to arrive. 
In the meantime, I went to my first Corvallis Modern Quilt Guild sew day last month and met a few quilters/sewists, which was really nice.  One of the girls, Dana, has an online fabric shop Winter Creek Cloth right here in Corvallis. Well, I just happen to love fabric and also love to support local businesses. So of course I ran.....yes, ran...home to order some fabric.  Okay, I didn't really run, but I drove at high speed to get home to order some fabric. I browsed, and browsed, and browsed some more, putting stuff in my shopping cart then removing it, then putting it back in. I finally decided on this lovely fabric. 
Rhapsody in Bloom by Maywood Studio

Riley Blake Love Birds -- I got 2 Fat Eighths Bundles! 

Studio e Daisy Daze
Isn't it beautiful? She has quite a selection, and her shipping is only $5!! Yes, even with the recent increase in postal rates. Not sure how long it's going to stay at $5 so maybe you should check it out....now!  

 I decided to use the Studio e Daisy Daze with my Free Spirit bundle to make the Sugar Block Club blocks, and here's the January block. 

 I cannot wait to see how this quilt turns out! It's gonna be for me, me, me!!!

 It's sew day time again! If you live in the area, join us for a day of sewing tomorrow, Saturday 2/9. Stay however long you'd like. Check the Facebook page for information: Corvallis Modern Quilt Guild

    Oooh - you have added some lovely fabric! I'm really liking polka dots at the moment - love yours! Your Sugar Block is beautiful - nice fussy cutting! I'm excited that you'll be keeping this one for yourself! I am halfway through my Jan Riley Blake BOM - not great when it is such a simple block. Never mind, as long as I'm enjoying it I will continue to plod along.
