Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 9
Posted on June 1, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad DashI skipped a Monday check-in on purpose this week, because it was a holiday, and I made full use of it!
And I have no other excuse for why I’m just now posting this on late Wednesday.
I don’t have my Section One pieced yet. And it’s almost time for Section Two. Good thing this is a sew-at-your-own-pace quilt-along. My pace is super slow right now.
I have enough blocks done for Section One, but I decided I wanted a better variety of my fabrics scattered through the section, so I decided to increase my stockpile before putting it together. That will also aid me with Section Two, so I continue to make blocks — really slowly. I worked on some green ones last week — I’ve switched to pink for this week.
So instead of showing you my Section One, I’m gonna show you a couple others from participants — and they ARE lovely!
Here is Tanya’s:
And here is Becky’s:
They both said the instructions were easy, so I was relieved to hear that. I hope that continues on through the other eight sections!
And Shirley finally picked a color scheme and is started. Here is her first block — she’s pairing this with yellow — it’s gonna be spectacular!
So . . . I hope you’re moving along with your Mad Dash, and I’ll be back Monday with some tips for Section Two. Head’s up — it’s easier than Section One!
I finally have enough pink for the background in section one but have to work on the block dashes that will be yellow. I’m like you. I want extra made so I get the colors mixed through out the quilt. Looks like I will end up with more pink than when I started because I want variety and keep buying pink fabric!
All beautiful!! I love to see the participants’ projects. This is one of my favorite blocks, both in construction and visual display. And such a clever assembly! Kudos to the designer 🙂
