Flea Market Quilt & Stitch Along

Hi Quilting and Stitching Friends! Months two and three of the Flea Market Quilt and Stitch Along with Fat Quarter Shop is the .... Churn Dash! 

I'll chat about quilting first ...so if you are only a cross stitcher - just scroll a bit for the stitching information. 

Churn Dash is one of my all time favorite blocks! I love sewing them!

These little 4" Churn Dash blocks are super adorable!!!! I had sew much fun choosing my favorite Flea Market and Stitch fabrics designed by Lori Holt.

I was just so excited that I added my borders around the Flea Market block and added all the cute little churn dash blocks! I'm loving the center of my Flea Market Quilt!!! The next few months - I will be sewing the basket blocks that border the quilt center!

You may have realized I do like to make a few changes to the projects when I'm quilting and stitching along because it's fun to make the project a bit different :).

I'm making my Flea Market Quilt as designed in the Flea Market book, but with fabric changes. I'm going to choose my favorite prints from Stitch and Flea Market plus a few favorites from Granny Chic and Prim too! I love how all of Lori Holt's fabric collections coordinate so well together!

I'm also joining in for the coordinating Flea Market Stitch Along too -yay! The cross stitch pattern coordinates perfectly with the quilt and is a year long project too! I prefer smaller cross stitch pieces for decor so I'm going to stitch up sections separately!
