Modern Plus Sampler QAL Update

The December instructions for the Modern Plus Sampler QAL were relatively easy.

This is a great QAL, hosted by Cheryl @ Meadow Mist Designs and Paige @ Quilted Blooms.  I highly recommend the book Modern Plus Sign Quilts (Canadians can purchase at Chapters Indigo).

I decided to use the Crafted Applique method by Lara @ Buzzin Bumble.  Once I prepared my fabric pieces, it didn't take long to sew them in place.  This is Kona Tiger Lily on a white tone-on-tone.  Both blocks are 14 inches.


I had a stupid moment while prepping the second block.  I was about to cut fabric for the circle and for the white plus.  Then I realized that I was supposed to cut the plus from the middle of the circle so the white background would show through.  So much easier.  LOL


Gutermann thread #400 was the perfect match.


Last month, I played catch up and finished all my blocks.  So I'm all up to date and ready for the January instsructions that will be released on Thursday.

  2. Your blocks are beautiful - and I’m so happy for you that you’re all caught up now. I’m waaaaaay behind on this one and I blame work for keeping me from my sewing machine for the last few months. I really need to get some balance back in to my life in 2019! Happy New Year to you Anja!

  3. Your blocks look great! I agree that the hardest part of the Crafted Applique method is preparing the fabric. The rest is quick and easy and fun!
