Quilt-Alongs that I have started

I posted last week on some of the many Quilt-alongs I have come across on the web. I decided on two (for now LOL).

The first one is from Karen at Faeries and Fibres that started a week ago. It is a biweekly QAL.
This is my first part done with english paper piecing:

I really enjoyed doing the paper-piecing and will definitely try it again. 

The second one is Pat Sloan's Globetrotting BOM. This one is through Free Quilt Patterns and Washington DC is the first block.
Here is mine:

This is a large block that will be the center with smaller blocks around it. 

Back to working on alphabet blocks now! 

Happy Stitching!

Quilt -along Heaven

We just returned last night from an 8 day cruise from NYC to the Bahamas. What a wonderful time we had! The weather was so-so, but there are so many activities on a cruise ship we had a blast. On the car ride home from New York, which was 5 1/2 hours, I caught up on some blogs that I follow, and there are so many new quilt alongs starting. Here are some that I am considering:

From Faeries and Fibres: Soupcon, a wallhanging size mystery with english paperpiecing, embroidery, and traditional piecing.

Don't you love a free quilt-along?

I will be posting my next alphabet block shortly. I worked on a couple of those on the way home yesterday too!

Bye for now and Happy New Year!
