New blocks will be posted every Monday until we have a total of 64 blocks. Or, in my case, twice that number, since I'm making two of each block.

I decided to make mine in Hallowe'en colours.
Week 1
My first block (I made two, as you can see).
And I made a home for my fabrics and blocks to ensure they don't get lost in stash and that the fabrics don't get used in something else.
Week 2
Making two blocks is almost easier than making one. I have to run a thread bunny (or leader n' ender) through at the tail end of my sewing to save thread and for the simple fact that when I start sewing with loose threads dangling, it just bungs up on the backside of my piecing. All my sewing machines are like that. So, by having two blocks to sew - they act as the thread-bunny for each other.
All my blocks to this point.
Week 3
I think I spent more time picking the fabrics I wanted in each of my blocks than I did actually sewing them. Still making two blocks a week. I'll either have a big bed-sized quilt, or two co-ordinating lap quilts with different blocks.
Week 4
Week 5
Week 6
My alternate Hallowe'en blocks until I get my applique skills up to a level I can live with...
Blocks to date at Week 8
