Great finds!

 I like to see the positive in bad situations. This social distancing etc has been hard on all of us but there can be opportunities too.

The internet is full of "quilt alongs" right now. There is not enough time to do them all but I love looking at them. 

Nadra of https://www.ellisandhiggs.com is offering this.

And I have actually made block 1 and 2 already. Nadra is in Germany but everything on her blog is also in English. When I subscribed to this quilt along the PDFs arrive in English automatically (wonder how the computer decided which language to send to me). 

Each block also comes with an uTube tutorial. I decided to skip looking at it (time crunch) but then thought it necessary after all because there is information which is not on the PDF.


I had to rip one seam making Block 2 because I had skipped the video so I found out on my own that after making the HST you have to trim down to the right size. After that no problem. This is how far I have gone. 


I had promised a friend last night (at an outdoor quilters meeting) that I would blog this info. Here it is.

But there is more!!!

I stumbled over to Moda Blockheads via my friend Diana in England who has made several of those blocks and of course did a marvelous job. I have my eye on several of those blocks I really would like to make. May be (?) soon in another blog I can show off which ones. I wonder whether you could guess? There is always hope.
