Here's a quick peek at one of the quilts I should be working on!! I've gotten distracted doing other things this week--like cleaning the cellar so that dogs have a play area in this super cold weather!

The focus unit in this quilt is the square-in-a-square block, also known as the Economy Block. This was the "hot" block of 2014! I made 2 wall hangings using this block but this is the first time I'm using it for a bed size quilt.

As you can see in the apple wall hanging I made last year, putting the Economy blocks next to each other can create a star secondary design.

Economy Block wall hanging 15 1/2 x 15 1/2 inches square, Economy blocks finish at 4 3/4 inches

I didn't have quite enough of the bird fabric to do a whole quilt of Economy blocks. So I'm alternating the Economy blocks with a chain block.

This is all I've done so far! Hopefully I'll get back to the sewing machine in the next few days!
