Craft Book Month- Blog Hop!

September 3, 2012 Leave a Comment

Ok, I lied. Can’t seem to stay away for longer than a week. I’m so excited to be today’s stop on the Craft Book Month blog hop at Craft Buds!

This weekend I pulled out a new addition to my craft book library- but already one of my all time favorite modern patchwork books- Shape Workshop for Quilters, by the editors of Fat Quarterly. I had in mind a couple of minis to add to a blank wall in my nursery, and was hoping to find some fresh inspiration.

And indeed I did! Man, I love this book. The only bad thing about it is I could hardly decide which block to make. Finally settled on the simple, modern Card Trick block by Katy Jones (who also happened to be my Twitter Christmas Swap partner last year! Star struck much?!).

Navy, aqua, and yellow felt like a yummy combo, and I made two to fit the space I have in mind.

I’m still in the midst of binding them in white, for a crisp pop against my light grey walls.

Truly, this book is PACKED with killer block and quilt designs. I’m dying to make practically everything in it! See what I mean?

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you check out what’s going on at the other stops along the blog hop this month. Don’t forget to read below for all the details on how to enter your project for a chance at some awesome prizes!
