Blockheads 6 - Block 12

I skipped block 11 for now because it is 27" square and I'm not sure I need such a big block. I may go back and do it later. In the meantime, here is block 12. This one went together pretty easily. Oops..after I posted this, I realized my goslings are upside down. I will fix it and repost. I kind of want to make the center better anyway.
Here's the corrected one:

Blockheads - Block 6, 7, 8, 9

Block 6 was supposed to be 18 inches, but I made it 9 inches like the others.
Block 7 is 18 inches, so I have skipped it for now. I may make it smaller or maybe I'll make it big as designed. Block 8:

Dragon Fruit Quilt

This was a BOM by the Fat Quarter Shop. I finally found the time to put all the blocks together. It came out great. I still have to add the borders, and then I have to decide if I'm going to try to quilt it myself or if I will save up money and send it out to a longarmer. I had a lot of fabric left over, so I'm also making another version of this in half size. It's fun making the tiny blocks. The smallest blocks are 2" squares.
Well...after putting up this picture, I noticed a mistake, so I had to spend time with Jack (the ripper). All fixed now.

Westknits Surprise Sockalong 2025 - Delectable Collectibles

This will be my third year doing Westknits surprise sockalong. Stephen's sock designs are always unique and so much fun to knit. This year I decided to treat myself to a kit. It's expensive...especially the shipping, but I think I deserve it. I got the kit called Carrot by Dark Omen. There were also a few goodies along with the yarn.

Blockheads 6 - block 4

This one turned out pretty good but not perfect so I tried a second one. The second one came out worse, so I'm sticking with this one. This QAL is supposed to be a skill-building experience, but I am changing all the patterns to foundation paper piecing.
