March's Small Quilt- Let's Have a Potluck

There's nothing better 
than going to a Potluck.
It's a communal gathering
where each guest brings a different
and hopefully, unique and delicious dish
to be shared.
hosted another block swap.
This time with the Broken Dishes block.
With new blocks arriving for the swap of 2018,
I decided it might be time to
sew together the previous group.


I sewed the majority of the 4" blocks
together into one large quilt.

Here's a small peek.

It's off to the quilters so 
Debi can do her magic.

But there were several lovely blocks left.
What better to do than to sew them together
for my Small Quilt for the month of March.

(Being red and white it probably qualifies 
more for a February finish.💖💖)


Potluck
20" x 28"

A block swap is exactly like a Pot Luck.
Each quilter sharing their blocks,
 using their best sewing skills,
and allowing everyone to enjoy
the fabrics they picked out.


It's amazing how they all work together.
I couldn't decide on a single border fabric.
Why not use 4 different ones.


Add some simple machine quilting
and 
before you know it these broken dishes
are serving up a delicious feast for the eyes.

Until Next Time-
Kyle

  9. For potluck dinners, I always like to make something that is quick and easy, and also delicious (like Cherry Dump Cake). Your quilt covers all three of those! Thanks for sharing. ---"Love"
