A post from Kelli–
When I announced last month that we would be making two blocks, I was a little bit worried that it might be a bit too much. Â I was sure excited when Mom told me she was getting emails from our quilt-alongers with both blocks! Â In order to get the entire sampler done in a year, we are going to keep making two blocks each month until we have all of the blocks done. Â From there, we will work on completing the center block, piecing the background setting triangles, and putting all of our blocks together to complete the quilt. Â I know that I have busy summer planned with graduation parties, weddings, showers, and hopefully a little vacation (just to Mom’s), so I’m going to really have to plan time to get the blocks done. Â If you happen to only get a block done or maybe aren’t able to complete the part “assigned” for the month, don’t feel bad at all. Â You can get caught up in the next month or two and send your pictures when you have them available.
Without further ado, here are the blocks that we will make for the month of June–Blocks 7 and 8.
Block 8 on the left is called Maine Woods Variation. Â Block 7 is on the right. Â It is called Milky Way.
Here are the blocks that were completed by our quilt-alongers…
Barb K got her two blocks done.
Here are Melodies blocks. Â I love the colors!

Mary Ellen is playing catch up. Â It’s not to late for you to join too.
Here is Joanna’s block.
Next up are Sharyn’s blocks.
Joanna got both blocks made too.
From Nancy we have two blocks too.
Come back tomorrow to check out our stitch along! Â When we were traveling to Minnesota this past weekend, Mom was adding the finishing stitches to her block. Â I’m starting to really wish that I would have stitched along instead of only quilting along!
Where can we find the patterns for these?
Where can I get the block pattern? Is this the first month? Thank you. Debra
Kelli,
I don’t have a blog, but would like to participate. What pattern is being used and where might I buy it?
I was wondering the same thing. I searched and searched and have no idea where the previous blocks are!
Never mind! I found the first post in February and now know I need to get the sampler pattern. I love the blocks.
In response to some of your questions, the pattern is Pieceful Nights by Lori Smith. It needs to be purchased to participate in the quilt along. We started with block 1 in January and have done 1 block each month until now and will be doing 2 each month until finished. You can type Pieceful Nights in search bar on Jo’s sight and find past information.
Hope you join us!
