These blocks are from the Mercantile SAL hosted by Fat Quarter Shop a few years ago. Karen got me interested in it. If you click on this link, scroll down to see her pretty blocks. I really enjoyed the two blocks I made before I put it all aside.. Karen recently put her blocks on her design wall, and I am Inspired to start up again.
I made the Birthday Cake block and Angel Star block in 2024, and next on my list is the Maple Leaf block.

I found a literal "mystery" quilt this morning with completely different sized pieces than the pattern I had included with it! The 150+ cut squares and rectangles are fall colors, and I think I might have done it in 2022. I have tried a star placement for those 2-inch HSTs, but the don't match up with any of the other pieces. Hopefully I can figure it out.
Hubs is anxious to start grilling our steaks (it's only 12:30!), so I'll quickly add this to Kate's 15 Minutes To Stitch and to Melva's Sew and Tell on Monday. Have a lovely Sunday!
You've got a good start on this project. Sometimes it's very hard to return to a project that has been set aside but it's worth the effort. I hope you can sort out the mystery! Love your boxes made out of rulers.
ReplyDeletewould you have blogged about your mystery quilt and by looking back can find the name of it? I like your sampler blocks. I think I will start another one this week seeing as I was good and finished another pineapple square for my other quilt.
ReplyDeleteI remember the Mercantile quilt along. I decided curves are dangerous and skipped this one. I hope you continue with it because it is such a pretty quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhen you put blocks aside, it is exciting or hard to get back to them?
ReplyDeleteThose Mercantile blocks are pretty! I can empathize with unearthing old projects and not being able to figure out what the heck Past Rebecca was planning to do with them. Do you think Past Linda cut the pieces in different sizes because she had intentional changes she wanted to make to the pattern, or do you think she made a cutting error and that’s why the project was set aside? I’m sure you’ll figure something out and it will be great!
ReplyDeleteGreat mercantile blocks! You have a good head start on it. How funny that your mystery quilt truly is a complete mystery—I hope you can figure it out!
ReplyDeleteThose Mercantile blocks are really pretty. Looks like you've got your stitching mojo back and have some fun projects in the works.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun how we inspire each other!
ReplyDeleteI just love your color sense!!! Those blocks are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI like those Mercantile blocks, too! It looks like yours are turning out nicely, Linda. Your mysterious mystery project has really pretty colors. I hope you figure it out!
ReplyDeleteI love how they're in circles, set on a 4 patch background! So pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, your SAHRR will be lovely. I love your snowball quilt, see that on elefants page as well. What a good idea to use different nine patch colours! When I see your wooden boxes with the wooden folding ruler I am a little jelous. My dad is dead, he would have made these boxes for me. So, nowadays I have to try by myself! But first quilting. Wendy eva… thanks for your nice commenting on her blog ! Happy weekend ahead!
ReplyDeleteWhat interesting blocks with the curved frames. Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
