In May I saw a new quilt-a-long over at
and sew we craft - a group of Aussie quilters who decided to do a block of the month based on blocks from the Modern Blocks book.
I've had this book on my wishlist for a while so I thought it was a good excuse to buy the book and actually make some blocks from it !
I gathered a few fabrics to use as a base with the idea of adding others if needed and got started - I'm using white as my background fabric.

| May - follow the leader |
 |
| June - spool |
 |
| July - Megan's star |
 |
| August - quartrefoil |
The blocks are pretty quick and easy to make and I've actually managed to keep up !
its a 12 month project so I should have a nice little quilt in April next year :)
If you want to join in the quilt a long -
The Book Depository offers free postage worldwide !
oh and they have prizes for linking up each month - I just found out that I won some Japanese blenders from
Blossom Heart Quilts - just for linking up last month - so that's a bonus :)
