I am so pleased to be part of the Moda Bake Shop ABC-along! Today I'll show some teasers of my work so far, and later my unique block and the layout of my quilt will be on the Moda Bake Shop blog! I'm using Sweetwater's Mama Said Sew 2 (pdf link) for my letters.
And you can check out one of the finished quilts here!

While I wasn't able to attend QuiltCon this year, I did have the honor of having one of my quilts hanging in the show! My quilt, 512, hung in the Modern Traditionalism category. My sweet sister-in-law attended the show and sent me these pictures of it!
My quilt was inspired by this image that I saw via Pinterest over a year ago. I loved the idea of all of the 9 patch blocks you can make only using two colors. I chose two of my favorite Kona colors (Wasabi and Pomegranate), and made 512 blocks. Then I had to decide how to lay them out. I thought it would make the most visual impact to have the blocks go in 'order' from least pink squares to most pink squares. And then I had to plan the layout for the many blocks that had the same number of pink squares in the blocks. I created a pattern, and then arranged the blocks into it. That was probably the hardest part!
I love the way it turned out, and was so proud it was accepted to QuiltCon!
