Happy New Year everyone. I hope your 2022 is off to a great start.
We
had the kids home for the holidays and even some time afterward. I then spent a
couple of weekends putting away the decorations and cleaning, you know, the
usual chores that need to be done.
I
enjoyed three days at a cross stitch retreat last weekend – more about that
later.
Today
I am sharing Flea Market Quilt by Lori Holt.
This is a quilt-along hosted by Lori and the Fat Quarter Shop. The quilt features Lori’s Flea Market, Cross
Stitch and Bee Basic Backgrounds fabrics. It will be my first “medallion” style
quilt.
Block
1 – Flea Market Star Block, it measures 18 1/2" x 18 1/2"
It
was hard cutting into this luscious stack of fabric…but I did it 😊
Next
month are churn dash blocks. Wait! Next
month is just next week! Well, I guess I squeaked this one in.
If
you are on Instagram, you can follow #FleaMarketQuiltAlong and see the progress
posted by others. It is interesting to
see the different fabrics used as some people are pulling from their stash.
Have
a great week 😊

WOW--that is a big block for the center--you have some yummy looking fabrics to work with for this one...Enjoy ;)))

It's gorgeous! That is one big block too! I bought a few fabrics on Etsy that were Lori fabrics but I didn't buy the whole bundle. Good luck with keeping up. I'm sure I'll fall behind. I've never done her applique method. Have fun!
Very pretty block
That's one of my favorite blocks! :0)
Cutting into that luscious group of fabrics was the hardest part!
The block looks great. I have some fabrics that I haven't convinced myself to cut into...so I know exactly what you mean.
It's good that was a big block or you would have some teeny pieces in there!
Cute! I will enjoy following along as you progress through the QAL!
jeanna it's nice to meet you, and thank you to Knitty quilter for introducing us! Lori Holt's patters are fun to make and yours looks great. You could use it for center of the stay at home round robin too! I have done the qal at FQS and it's fun. I'm from Tampa originally... where do you live? LeeAnna at not afraid of color

That's a pretty block, and such great fabric! Enjoy the QAL!
I love your block! Your fabric is gorgeous! I wish I could join the QAL but I've got too much going on! So nice to meet you!
Big blocks are fun - and yours is SO pretty!! - ;))
That is a big block! It is hard to cut into new fabric....I have several bundles that I need to use. I'm doing chicken salad with Lori but I don't have but a few of her fabrics and I will use others too. That is going to be a wonderful quilt! Enjoy!
