At this point we have more than half of our blocks completed, including all but one of the larger blocks. From this point on, the rest of our blocks are 6" except for Block 2 of Section G that is 36". I don't know about you guys, but I am so excited to have this mammoth beauty finished. Have any if you started thinking about how you are going to quilt it yet? At this point the thought makes my brain hurt a little, so I am going to put it off a bit longer!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, for this month, we are working n Section E. This section includes six, six inch blocks: 26, 27, 30, 32, 40, and 47. Most of these blocks are pretty simple, but a couple have quite a few pieces. Overall these six did not take long to complete. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">One thing I started doing with my blocks a while back, especially since the giant block I had to redo back in Section B, was rounding most cutting measurement up 1/8 of an inch. This helped particularly with getting half square triangles perfectly square, because I could sew and press them then cut them down to the correct size. This also helped overall with getting a more accurately sized finished block. When using this technique, you do need to pay attention to sizing as you go so that everything remains proportional. I have to admit I had to take a couple blocks apart because I wasn't paying attention and didn't trim as I pieced the block.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Don't forget to keep track of your blocks and any notes on the pdf checklist found in our original quilt along post, <a href="http://goobadesigns.blogspot.com/2014/09/modern-building-blocks-quilt-along-plan.html" target="_blank">here</a>!</span><br />

I am sure many of us had crazy Decembers, so hopefully this extra time helped everyone get caught up. I just wanted to take a moment to post my photos of my completed Section C and remind everyone that you still have until 18 January to get your Section C photos linked up in <a href="http://goobadesigns.blogspot.com/2014/12/modern-building-blocks-quilt-along.html" target="_blank">my original post for this section</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Section C had only nine blocks. Below are the block numbers, sizes, and photos of my blocks.</span><br />

This particular challenge serves to recognize and honor the sacrifices that are made by our country's military families. As an Army family, we know the challenges facing military families first hand and we are so excited to be a part of this fun challenge. Being an online only shop we will obviously not be able to display entry quilts in our shop, however we will have all of our shop entries displayed in an upcoming blog post on April 6th for everyone to vote on a shop winner. We will also show off our entries on our Instagram account as well! Each shop's Viewer's Choice winner will receive a prize and be entered into Moda's <i>Piece and Comfort</i> national online quilt show. The winners for the Moda's national online quilt show will be announced May 8th.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>

That said, I am not finished with my blocks for this month, however I finished the 30" block, #3, that you can see below and I plan on getting the other eight finished and posted as soon as possible. You can always reprint or check out our nifty printable pdf checklist for the blocks and sections in our original "<a href="http://goobadesigns.blogspot.com/2014/09/modern-building-blocks-quilt-along-plan.html" target="_blank">Plan of Attack</a>" post.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Because I am having trouble keeping up myself, I have decided to extend the date for linking up your Section C to 18 January 2015. This way we can get the holidays out of the way and have a bit of time to catch up. Plus, Section D/January only has five blocks so it should all balance out. Hopefully you guys don't mind and I apologize again for having to change things around a bit and for not being terribly punctual. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As I am finishing up the Section C blocks, I will post a couple more updates to show my Section C blocks as examples. I will keep the photo link up on this post, so when you finish your Section C please come back to this post to link up. You will have until 18 January.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now for the fun parts! First up is our winner for Section B, which is Peggy Aront. </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Congrats Peggy! </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">You should check out Peggy's </span><a href="http://stitchinwithpeg.blogspot.com/2014/11/moda-modern-building-blocks-quilt-along.html" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;" target="_blank">gorgeous blocks</a><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">. She is using Denise Schmidt prints and her quilt is looking beautiful. I cannot wait to see it finished. Also, since I made you guys wait so darn long for this post, I would like to also send a little something to Stacey and Susan as well. If you guys contact me via email, I will get your prizes out as soon as possible. Thank you so much for participating and sharing!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And lastly, for our Section C prize, we have an Aurifil small spool sampler with six spools of different thread types in red (including Aurifloss) as well as six red and white fat quarters (all are 18" x 21" except for the white with red dots which is a 20" square). The red is perfect for any holiday projects including Valentine's Day which is coming up in only a couple of months. Any suggestions for future prizes are always welcome, just comment below.</span><br />

I feel terrible that I have been so behind these past couple of weeks, however, hopefully this will not be an issue again in the future, fingers crossed. And I am sure you guys who entered last month (you are awesome by the way) are wondering about the prize, so I won't keep you waiting any longer on that front. If you haven't already done so, please check out everyone's entries for Section A. They are wonderful and I am hoping to get more people to join in with us as we move along.</span><br />

Since there were only three, I will go through mention a few things about each of them along the way.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, I made this block first because I have to admit I have been itching to make this giant block ever s</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">ince I first saw this pattern</span>. And it is definitely awesome, however I had a bit of trouble with mine. Not so much with the construction, but with it not being the correct size. Mine turned out about 1.5" too small...pretty hard to fix that much of a difference. When I was piecing the center pieces (the red and white) they went together fine, things lined up and all seemed well, however when I went to add the blue triangles around it they seemed really large. So, I trimmed then down to have a quarter inch seem allowance on all side, which then of course made the next pieces too large. After all the trimming I realized that wasn't very smart since now my block would not fit in its place! After staring at my block for a very long time, I decided to remake the block. I was not really loving how the block looked with the rest of my blocks either, so this just solidifies my decision to remake the block and change the colors as well. Please let me know if any of you run in to any similar problems. It is however very possible that I cut the center pieces incorrectly, especially since I was doing some middle of the night sewing. Here is what I was thinking for the new colors. A perfect blend of Sweetwater and Bonnie & Camille!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Hi everyone! Are you ready to kick off this Modern Building Blocks Quilt Along? Well, I sure hope so, because I managed to finish the first set of blocks for Section A, so I know that you guys can too! Check out my <a href="http://goobadesigns.blogspot.com/2014/09/modern-building-blocks-quilt-along-plan.html" target="_blank">previous post for the quilt along</a> to get an awesome printable checklist and see a few more details on how the quilt along will be broken down. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This first month (October) we are completing the blocks in Section A, which includes numbers 8, 10, 12, 17, 19, 20, 39, 41, 42, and 44. Cutting instructions for each block are located on the bottom of each block's card. If you are using the Moda kit then it is even color coded and has the Bella solid item number next to it for ordering purposes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am not using the Moda kit or Bella solids, but actually a variety of prints. All of my pieces so far have been cut from fat quarters except for one of the prints (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/177343594/moda-wishes-centerpieces-in-vanilla-by?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=wishes" target="_blank">Centerpieces in Vanilla from Wishes by Sweetwater</a>) that I have used in several of the blocks of which I have used a half yard cut so far. I am not totally sold yet on the approach I decided to take on this one. I do hope that it turns out the way I am imagining it in my head, but only time will tell I suppose. I am hoping after adding Section B my plan will be a little more apparent and that I will be a little happier with how it looks. Can you see where I am going with it?</span><br />

Sampler quilts are so fun and this one definitely does not disappoint! I would love some company while piecing it all together, which is why I want to host a Quilt Along; it would be the perfect opportunity to make this beautiful quilt and see others' versions along the way! Did I mention prizes for participating?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Below, I have included a rough outline of my thoughts on how to organize the quilt along and based on your feedback I can perhaps determine if anyone is even interested in playing along.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>The Breakdown</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There are 48 total blocks that make up the quilt. The sizes of the blocks vary from 6" up to 36".</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">In the "Block Placement Diagram" of the pattern, the quilt is already divided into seven sections, A through G. I figured we could use that as a monthly guide. For example, for the first month we would need to complete the blocks in Section A, then the second month complete the blocks in Section B and so on. Some months will have more blocks than others, but perhaps it will allow time to play catch up if needed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Section A: Blocks 8, 10, 12, 17, 19, 20, 39, 41, 42, 44 (October)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Section B: Blocks 1, 5, 6 (November)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Section C: Blocks 3, 11, 13, 15, 16, 23, 24, 29, 48 (December)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Section D: Blocks 4, 7, 9, 14, 18 (January)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Section E: Blocks 26, 27, 30, 32, 40, 47 (February)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Section F: Blocks 21, 28, 31, 33, 34, 35, 37, 46 (March)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Section G: Blocks 2, 22, 25, 36, 38, 43, 45 (April)</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For each section, there will be a post at the beginning of the month talking about the blocks within the section and it will include an area to link up photos and/or blog post of your completed blocks/section for the month. You will have until the end of the month to link up your photos and posts. We will have a prize each month for a randomly chosen winner from the linked up entries! At the end, we will have one grand prize winner chosen at random from all of our quilt top entries some time in May. Prizes are still to be determined, but will be included in the monthly post for each section.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><strike>I still have a one <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/201469477/modern-building-blocks-quilt-kit-from?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=modern%2Bbuilding%2Bblock%2Bkit" target="_blank">Modern Building Blocks kits</a> and a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/204634264/modern-building-blocks-quilt-pattern?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">few patterns</a> available </strike>in the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/GoobaDesigns?ref=l2-shopheader-name" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a> if you need it or are interested. I am also hoping to get some monthly kits put together as well, however that will depend on interest.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, so that we can streamline this event as much as possible. I am super excited and I hope you will come and join the fun! Oh, and did I mention PRIZES?! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I recently had the pleasure of trying out a super cute digital quilt pattern by The Aqua Umbrella (@vrrigney) called <a href="http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/quilting/home-decor/origami-blossoms-mini/109207" target="_blank">Origami Blossoms Mini</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">When I first saw the pattern, I knew I wanted to use Cotton + Steel fabric. As I am sure most of you know already, one of the amazing and wonderful aspects of the Cotton + Steel collections is that you can make so many different combinations. This combination of prints was one I had it my mind since the first time I saw the collections. I used the unbleached Mochi linen cotton blend from Moda for the background and I love how it turned out! Then again, I can't get enough natural linen. The only difficulty I had was figuring out how to quilt it. </span><br />

One of my favorites, besides the linen canvases, are the cotton lawns. Gorgeous fabric, to say the least. I have two of the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/GoobaDesigns/search?search_query=steel+lawn&order=date_desc&view_type=gallery&ref=shop_search" target="_blank">lawn prints in the shop</a>, but now I wish I would have purchased all of them! Anyway, I took the Goob to a fabric shop recently and she asked me to make a <a href="http://greenbeepatterns.bigcartel.com/product/lily-dress" target="_blank">Lily Dress by Green Bee Patterns</a> for her. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It was super cute, however I asked the Goob if she wanted to pick a different fabric for the dress and she agreed! I, of course, asked her to choose from the prints I already had, and luckily she chose <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/195011369/cotton-steel-dandelion-in-gray-from?ref=shop_home_active_8" target="_blank">Dandelion from the August collection in the cotton lawn</a>. I LOVE that print! The lawn fabric is so soft and the colors are wonderful. Then, I chose the accent fabric for the yoke, and went with the C+S Basic print, Netorious in Goldilocks...which has metallic ink. In my opinion, the two prints go together beautifully. The metallic Netorious print in Goldilocks is really outstanding. It has such a pretty shimmer, but is not over the top. Okay, enough talk....here is the dress.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One of my favorite details, besides the adorable scallops, is the vintage glass button that the Goob chose for the back. It couldn't be more perfect for the dress! As for the pattern, I would like to make another dress before I write a review and the Goob has already chosen her next print! We are going to be using the border print lawn from C+S called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/195007969/cotton-steel-palm-spring-in-aqua-from?ref=shop_home_active_22" target="_blank">Palm Springs in Aqua</a> which is from the Hatbox collection by Alexia Abegg. </span><br />

I am sure I have mentioned it before but I love the Art Gallery Arizona Knits and I have been scheming ways to use it. So when I saw that the new <a href="http://selvagedesigns.com/product/foxglove/" target="_blank">Foxglove Tank Pattern by Selvage Designs</a> could be used with knits....I was in! Since I used the <a href="http://goobadesigns.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-my-dress-by-debbie-brooke-designs.html" target="_blank">Tomahawk Stripe for my My Dress</a>, I used the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/190476246/desert-blanket-knit-arizona-collection?ref=shop_home_active_8" target="_blank">Desert Blanket knit</a> for this tank. Both are still available in the shop.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The Foxglove pattern is great! It is simple and straight forward with plenty of diagrams and options. I really have no complaints with it. I do, however, need to get a racerback bra, because the only thing that I had that would work was a really old and terrible sports bra which I am sure you noticed is not very flattering. Anyway, great tank, and I hope to make more. I have a rayon slub knit that I have been waiting for the perfect pattern to use and I think this will be perfect!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I did have one issue that had noting to do with the pattern. I wanted to use a twin/double needle to hem the bottom, neckline and arm holes, since this is often suggested for knits. The twin needle that came with my machine would not work, so I went to Joann's in search of a twin needle I could use. Well, there was only one to chose from. The package said that it could be used for knits so I went for it. Unfortunately, I had the most difficult time finishing the hems. I took them out multiple times and tried everything I though I could and I still had skipped stitches. I think that the issue is the needle, but I am not sure. I have had trouble with some knits before doing this, also with a straight stitch but only a single needle. Anyway, do any of you have any experience with this that you might be able to share some advice with me? It would be tremendously appreciated. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Overall, this is a wonderful pattern and a gorgeous knit. I will have to investigate a bit on the twin needle front, but other than that I want to make more. I have a couple of different ideas for the hems on the next one, so perhaps I will skip the twin needle all together for that one!</span><br />

This is only my second swap and my first swap technically isn't over yet; the #schnitzelandboominiswap. I have already sent out my swap items, but I haven't received mine yet. I am not sure that I am cut out for this swap business yet, because I stress myself out way too much! That said, my partner will hopefully receive it soon which should relieve a bit of the stress. It sure had a heck of a long way to go, and the suspense is killer. Anyway, hope you enjoy it partner!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, since this dress has a separate bodice and skirt, I used the "right" side of the fabric for the skirt portion and then flipped the fabric and used the "wrong" side for the bodice. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This fabric is gorgeous by the way and I want to make so many more things out of it! As for the pattern, there are a couple of differences between making the woven version versus the knit version. First of all, for this woven version you insert a zipper on the side seam. You know, zippers really aren't that bad but I decided I don't love doing them. I realize that I tend to procrastinate forever when it comes to the zipper part....bah. The other difference that is mentioned when doing the knit version versus the woven is that you size down for the knit, which is absolutely true. I cut the same size as I did not the knit version and I ended up having to change my side seams to 1/2 inch seams instead of 5/8 inch seams to allow for enough room in the bodice. It probably would have been smarter to do as the instructions suggested and use the larger size. I suppose when I make another of these woven My Dresses I will cut a size larger and see how that goes.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I did have a couple of issues with some aspects of the dress. The first was that I was having a bit of a problem with a bit of "bulging," if that is even the correct word, on the side seam where my zipper ended right at my hip. I just ended up lessening the curvature of the seam there, but it could have been where I ended up cutting the zipper in addition to the curvature in that location....but not too sure. I noticed a bit in the knit version but it is much more forgiving in the knit version. Lastly, I noticed that the fabric below the back bodice seam bunches. The skirt does not seem too tight, but perhaps it is and that is why it bunches there. I was thinking that perhaps I could shorten the back bodice or the top of the skirt back, but I am not really sure. Any ideas?</span></div>

I just wanted to take a few minutes to mention that I, of course, am adding another project to the long list of works in progress! However, I was finding it hard to resist and finally gave in. I love BasicGrey's new holiday collection called <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/189409672/moda-25th-and-pine-by-basicgrey?ref=shop_home_active_4&ga_search_query=25th%2Band%2Bpine" target="_blank">25th and Pine</a> and I have been wanting to use the Honeycomb pre-cuts since they came out. So, I felt this would be a great opportunity to use both. I believe I am liking how it is looking so far. What do you guys think?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am also still working on a few of my other WIPs, such as the Aurifil Designer Block of the Month mini blocks. The latest was June's block, shown below, but don't look too closely because it isn't perfect. The new designer for the month of July is Camille Roskelley, which is really exciting so if you have a second you should stop by and check out her <a href="http://auribuzz.wordpress.com/2014/07/01/july-2014-designer-of-the-month/" target="_blank">interview and the new block of the month</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I recently had the pleasure of testing the new PDF version of the My Dress by Debbie Brooke Designs. I have to admit I had been admiring the pattern for some time and was super excited to get the PDF version. Many people still prefer paper patterns to the PDF versions, but there are some aspects of the PDF patterns that I really enjoy. Here they are:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">1. I do not have to trace my size, because I can print out the PDF pattern as many times as I want. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">2. You get the file immediately. (I can be very impatient.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">3. I always have a copy of the pattern stored on my computer (and a back-up somewhere else of course) and I do not have to worry about loosing a pattern piece or part of the instructions.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">These are just the points that are important to me. Luckily, many independent designers release both a paper and PDF version of their designs, so we can all be satisfied. I will say that I am not deterred either way, if I like a pattern I will buy it no matter the format, but I am definitely leaning toward the PDF versions these days. You can get the paper pattern <a href="http://www.fiveeighthseams.com/Birthday-Dress-p/p-db422-mydress.htm" target="_blank">here</a>, and the PDF will be available soon.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>The My Dress PDF:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Okay, one of the things that I notice when I piece together a PDF pattern is how well the pieces lined up when I taped them all together. Out of all of the PDF patterns I have used to date, this pattern lined up the best! There were easy to follow instructions with letters that matched up on the corners/edges as well as numbers for each page and all of the lines matched up beautifully. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As for the rest of the aspects of the PDF, the content was organized logically and the instructions were easy to follow with quality photos and diagrams. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Overall Opinion of the My Dress Pattern:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am in love with this dress at the moment! The basic shape of the dress is elegant and flattering and I, of course, love the pleats at the shoulder. One of the best aspects of the dress/pattern is that you can make it with woven or knit fabric! In addition to that, there is a maternity variation, while I will not be needing that feature for myself, I certainly love a pattern with options. The construction is clever with a fully lined bodice (which is a favorite of mine) and simple techniques for a nice finish. And it is definitely a great project for beginners, especially the knit version, since you do not need the zipper!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For my first version of the My Dress, I chose to use knit fabric since I just received the gorgeous, buttery soft <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/GoobaDesigns/search?search_query=arizona+knit&order=date_desc&view_type=gallery&ref=shop_search" target="_blank">Arizona knits in the shop</a>. The <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/190482753/tomahawk-stripe-knit-arizona-collection?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=arizona%2Bknit" target="_blank">Tomahawk Stripe knit</a> by April Rhodes for Art Gallery Fabrics was wonderful to work with and so comfortable for this dress. I used a ball point needle with no trouble and the seams turned out nicely. I did not make any modifications to the sizing or to any of the seams, however I did cut the knit with the stripes running vertically instead of horizontally. I also did not line up the stripe on the bodice and skirt on purpose because I wanted there to be a slight variation to emphasize the seam separating the two. Just a side note, the dress is a size six. The instructions say to go with the smaller size if your measurements fall in between two sizes, which I did. I will most likely have to cut the larger size (at least for the skirt) for the woven version, or cut back on the junk food!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I would definitely recommend this pattern to both beginners and advanced sewers. It is fairly quick and easy to put together plus it is comfortable and cute! I have not made the woven versions with the zipper yet, so I cannot speak for that portion of the instructions, but I will update as soon as I do.</span><br />

I had been wanting to make a Party Dress ever since I finished <a href="http://goobadesigns.blogspot.com/2014/05/riding-peplum-pattern-by-april-rhodes.html" target="_blank">my Riding Peplum</a> a few weeks ago. Since I didn't have enough of the voile to make a whole dress, I decided I could use it for the bodice and then use a different fabric for the skirt. In comes Essex linen, which I am sure I have mentioned before is one of my favorite fabrics. I had purchased some of the yarn dyed steel color from a friend on Instagram (thank you @auntipami), and it matched the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/179094549/sale-palos-verdes-collection-by-a?ref=shop_home_active_1&ga_search_query=palos%2Bverdes" target="_blank">Palos Verdes La Venta voile</a> that I wanted to use for the bodice perfectly....score! My only concern was that the Essex linen would be a bit heavy and pull on the voile too much. Turns out it was not a problem.

I did get to go to International Quilt Market for the first time a couple of weeks ago which was amazing and overwhelming! I am planning to post a bit about it and do a little giveaway, hopefully soon. For now, I wanted to do an update of my Farmer's Wife blocks. In the last month and a half I got pretty far behind with my progress. I didn't do any blocks in April and didn't start making block this month until a couple of days ago. While my goal was 12 blocks per month, I have six of the 12 for May finished (with a couple cut out and ready to be sewn) and I am hoping to be able to make up a few blocks this summer.</span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">To see my last update in March go <a href="http://goobadesigns.blogspot.com/2014/04/im-backwith-some-more-farmers-wife.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Below is what I have so far this month.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The one in the middle took forever to piece, but I do sort of love it! I feel like I was trying to do the easy ones first and was flying through it. Now I have to start doing some of the more time consuming ones and I am not to get as many done as quickly.</span> So I believe <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am currently at 42 of 144...interesting....mearly a dent!</span></div>

And Tula Pink's Moonshine.<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">First, I have to apologize for the delay in letting you guys know the winners. I was in Pittsburgh at the International Quilt Market and thought I would have time to take care of it and just could not make it happen. To hopefully make up for it a bit, I decided to choose two winners! Winners were randomly selected using the Rafflecopter application, and can be seen on the widget in the original giveaway post. And the winners are....</span><br />

I had so much fun last time, that I have been looking forward to this ever since. So today, I am giving away a fat quarter bundle of the eight prints from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/182569568/fox-field-by-tula-pink-for-freespirit?ref=shop_home_feat_3" target="_blank">Tula Pink's Fox Field Dusk colorway</a>. One of my favorite things about Tula's collections is that they coordinate so well between them. We even still have some of the Acacia prints in the Etsy shop that look great with these Fox Field prints.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I made the size 12 in hopes that my 13 year old would wear it, at least on special occasions. You see, she is very much a t-shirt and jeans kind of gal, and I stopped sewing things for her a while ago for this very reason. Anyway, I thought I would give it a shot since sometimes she HAS to wear something a little more dressy! In the end I at least got her to pose for photos, however that might be the last time I see that top on her. I think it looks great on her!</span><br />

I am a huge fan of grey, so I think it is perfect.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">You might notice in these photos that there is some puckering at the
waist, I believe the problem was that I only attached the skirt to the
front of the bodice and not the front and lining. I was going to hand
stitch the lining to the skirt on the inside, but then decided not to.
When I did attach the skirt to both layers there was far less
puckering. I think that the weight of the skirt, with the outer skirt,
interfacing, and lining, was a bit heavy for just the outer bodice
only. I was not however able to get her to put the top back on for
anymore photos though, so I can't really show the difference.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One of the best parts about this pattern is that the pieces are already cut out! To me that is awesome because it is one less step to the finished product which means less time spent total....score. The pattern instructions were easy to follow with color photos, which is always a plus. Overall this is a great pattern for beginners and up. It is available in kids sizes six months to 12.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I purchased the pdf version of the <a href="http://april-rhodes.com/products/new-the-riding-peplum-or-party-dress" target="_blank">Riding Peplum and Party Dress by April Rhodes</a> back when it came out toward the end of last year. I originally planned to make this top to wear on New Year's with a cute cardigan or something. As you can see, I am a little behind schedule! Anyway, since this week was Selfish Sewing Week, I figured I would try and make it happen. The great thing about this pattern is that it is only four pieces, plus some bias binding. There are no zippers, buttons, etc. so it is perfect for beginners. It also goes together rather quickly, so it is a great top to sew in a pinch. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirTAMVgrk23OMJQhCZdRr2RiEXNTYRZSDwzSiGLjANN-pd1aFdJA_W_1i_Qx5n231jwvVmIK7fs3h5xuunICv2pxYC-cOS5vHyuwmqs7G6SshK_kfDoIbWlkkMkX8VaXL1ET-lFVHHmlhm/s1600/Riding+Peplum+Front+View.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirTAMVgrk23OMJQhCZdRr2RiEXNTYRZSDwzSiGLjANN-pd1aFdJA_W_1i_Qx5n231jwvVmIK7fs3h5xuunICv2pxYC-cOS5vHyuwmqs7G6SshK_kfDoIbWlkkMkX8VaXL1ET-lFVHHmlhm/s1600/Riding+Peplum+Front+View.jpg" height="640" width="432" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There are two darts in the front, which I did not alter. They probably could have used some tweaking but well, I was too lazy. Also, I used a quilting weight fabric for the top, specifically, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/160165837/briar-rose-by-heather-ross-for-windham?ref=shop_home_active_1" target="_blank">Nanny Bee in Green from the Briar Rose Collection by Heather Ross</a>.</span> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The true color of the fabric is more like the first photo in the post, unfortunately my other photos were taken at night so my colors are off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiThlHmoBWQrh8_9Y0mQRp9TW4ylmgF6x-YEnhGPRibWKpl1slVZtowVO5kAsI_0Q2tnv8fVRND0Pafyox0f_5zzSAIsBLWAMtJEO4zK8gI3XDl3fNz1ZiDJkQ8BeKqvaByWfXBdjvFg1oJ/s1600/Riding+Peplum+Side+View.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiThlHmoBWQrh8_9Y0mQRp9TW4ylmgF6x-YEnhGPRibWKpl1slVZtowVO5kAsI_0Q2tnv8fVRND0Pafyox0f_5zzSAIsBLWAMtJEO4zK8gI3XDl3fNz1ZiDJkQ8BeKqvaByWfXBdjvFg1oJ/s1600/Riding+Peplum+Side+View.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As you can see from the side and back views, the back is longer than the front and there are only darts in the front. The bottom has a simple folded hem and the arm holes and neckline are finished using bias binding. The garment is unlined.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijuEd6TtZbTBdPk8Fk6gCzJrmvaAQ5kBU1BiyShBrWCZuB4z6d7rEFRPgJCrycx4_Bms7-npzHe4k1SkIhT2pGSrwLFpqKb6SxDS3WR2RJ00R-KAieCZ3KWefrGipNvVcQULDzndSxexlr/s1600/Riding+Peplum+Back+View.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijuEd6TtZbTBdPk8Fk6gCzJrmvaAQ5kBU1BiyShBrWCZuB4z6d7rEFRPgJCrycx4_Bms7-npzHe4k1SkIhT2pGSrwLFpqKb6SxDS3WR2RJ00R-KAieCZ3KWefrGipNvVcQULDzndSxexlr/s1600/Riding+Peplum+Back+View.jpg" height="640" width="420" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Overall the Riding Peplum is a great pattern. It is simple and easy to construct, and it goes together quickly. The instructions are easy to follow with lots of color photos, and you have to love those! The finished garment is quite comfortable as it is supposed to be a looser more relaxed fitting top. I do really like the top but I am not totally sold on peplums in general for my body type. Anyway, it is worth checking out for sure. Now I just need to make her Staple Dress and I am set!</span><br />

I am on my third and it might be my favorite yet. I used a Nani Iro double gauze I purchased from someone destashing on Instagram. If you have not ventured into the world of Instagram yet, you should totally try it. So many great projects and people out there! </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For this version of the Datura blouse, I used the border and factory edge of the fabric for the bottom hem of the top. Because of this, I made a straight hem at the bottom instead of the original hem as I did in my first two Datura blouses. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I also went with a plain neckline, no triangle cut-outs or collar. Simple but awesome. The double gauze was a bit tricky to sew with, however I was also using a different machine than I normally use so I am not sure it was all the double gauze. Either way, I love the result and I already have the fabric for my next Datura washed and ready to go. I believe this is going to be my go to piece this summer!</span><br />

I joined along with the Layer Cake Sampler Quilt Along over at Material Girl Quilts, click the image below to check it out. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I resisted for a while, but I kept seeing everyone's blocks popping up on Instagram and caved! It is such a cute pattern and HST are really fun anyway. I had already started a quilt using some HST I made using leftovers from a couple of baby quilts back in January. I love that I was able to make a whole other quilt top from them, which I am almost finished with but haven't had a chance to photograph it yet, so here is just a photo of the blocks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">For the quilt along, I chose to cut into my Reunion by Sweetwater charm packs. This was extremely hard to do and I went back and forth on it for a while. I am still not convinced that it was a good idea, but only time will tell I suppose. I also was pretty late to the quilt along so I only have two blocks done so far and they are on blocks 13 and 14 this week. I have a lot of catching up to do!</span><br />

to a Datura blouse I saw on @christinehaynes feed on Instagram a week or so ago using a navy
Art Gallery print for the bottom half and a natural linen color for the top and
collar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I found the same print in a dark
gray and plan on making pretty much the same top!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So awesome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then for the other I just found another Art Gallery print from the
Indian Summer Collection by Sarah Watson.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

It has been tough keeping up with everything lately. Plus, it has been tax time....dun, dun, duuuuuun! Anyway, I just wanted to do a little update on my Farmer's Wife quilt. I finally finished my twelve new blocks for March about a week ago and now it is April already. What!?!? I guess I will be doing another update sooner rather than later. Here is where I am so far with my blocks, I have made 36 so far. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am going to show you a close up of six of my latest blocks. Two of the blocks I made this month were duplicates of each other. I need to have 34 doubles I believe it is so I thought I would do a couple now. The first block is the Buckwheat block, which is number 13 in the book.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I love how much the look of the same block can be with different fabric. It gets me every time! The next duplicate block I made was the Economy block, number 29 in the book. I am sure you have heard of this one. I believe there has been a quilt along on the web where quilters are making whole quilts using only this block. They look great....perhaps I will have to add that one to my giant list of projects as well! Here are the two Economy blocks I made for the Farmer's Wife quilt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Finally, the Evening Star block, number 31 in the book. The red it this photo looks a little off, but you get the idea!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I am using the template method to make these as instructed in the book, and I like it. I know there are others out there who use a different method. Either way I think this is an enjoyable project that I can do a little at a time and I love what I envision the outcome to be!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Thanks so much for stopping by. I am hoping to be blogging more regularly again, so come back soon to check it out!</span><br />
