Whoops!

I've been happily working away on the samples for Saturday's Pixelated Quilt Class. 

Got finished my 3rd section of this mushroom block and realized that things weren't lining up right. What in the world had I done? 

It didn't take long to figure out that I hadn't been paying close enough attention to the layout of my pieces as I went along. 

After laughing at myself, grabbed the seam ripper ripped out 3 seams, reoriented Mr. Mushrooms eye in the proper place and we were back in business!
 

Praise the Lord for Seam Rippers! Not sure what we'd do without them.

If you're looking for the patterns go HERE for the details.

Now.....off to tear apart my house in search of a paper that seems to doing 

a great job of hiding from me.

Happy Stitching &
Many Blessings!

Pixelated Class Prep

Some fun and exciting things are happening here!

I've been asked to teach a class on making a pixelated quilt for the local Modern Quilt Guild. 

Since the quilt that inspired the request was the Super Mario Brother's Quilt that I recently finished, I'm using the same pattern to create the sample blocks. 

Anyone looking for these patterns can visit the Cut To Pieces Blog and do a search for Mario Brother's Quilt to see instructions for pattern.  Her search bar is on the left, toward the bottom.

Go here for the PDF downloadable patterns.

As I've made the preparations for this class, I've found that there are really 4 different ways (though probably more) to go about piecing a pixelated quilt. 

When considering the different options it's really all about finding what works best for you. 

The class is Saturday, and free to all NOVA Modern Quilt Guild members. 

Stop by the Guild facebook page for all the event details. 

For those not in the NOVA area I will share more about the options different options for piecing a pixelated quilt after the class. 

Happy Stitching &
Many Blessings,
Marcia
