If you have been reading my blog for very long you know how much I love Sew Alongs. Another one has started. This one is by Jacquelynne Steves. To get the blocks you need to sign up for Jacquelynne's newsletter. Just go to her website and click on "BOM" if want to Sew Along too. She also includes a design that you can either embroider or applique.
My daughter just moved to a new apartment. We helped her buy a new beige couch. She loves anything "beachy" so I thought I would make a new quilt for her new apartment. I had this seashell fabric which will be perfect for the center of the block instead of embroidery or applique. This is the first block of Jacquelynne's Sew Along. I think my daughter is going to like this quilt.
I have also been Sewing Along with Jeni from the Willow. Here are some more of the blocks I have finished. Isn't the cat cute? She just added two more. Better get busy!

Love your block and the beachy feel.
My daughter is also a beach lover, but has been gone a long time. You picked the perfect colors.
Thank you for the blog links, Jeni's BOM is lovely & Ireally would like to do it so I'll be at the printer tomorrow!
Oh! That cat is really cute!
I am amazed at the amour of quilt blocks that you get done in such a short amount of time!
I especially like the cat!
One day I'll be caught up so I can join those fun sew alongs! Cute stuff Carrie.
Two lovely sewalongs, Carrie. I'm watching both these. Love the beachy themed colourings you chose and that cat looks like a real character!
I love the beachy block. How fortunate you had the seashell fabric in your stash.
Your new beach quilt is looking great!! Good luck with your sew alongs:)
Fun blocks! I haven't heard about these sew-alongs before-- I'm heading off to check 'em out now! :)
Oh yes, she will love that quilt, Carrie! Love the fabric! And those blocks from the other pattern too, love them all!
Your daughter will love that quilt, Carrie! The first block looks so lovely!
The blocks for the SAL are all beautiful too.

Adorable kitty! Sandy beaches and foamy waters...what a restful color combination.
I love your beachy block! Perfect fabrics for it!! I made some bags in that same shell fabric, and wish they made it again! It is just the perfect center fabric for that block, in the browns and blues!!
I am saving these BoM patterns, as I want to make a mini quilt with them, too, when I have the time!

The beachy look fabric.....perfect. I drooled over some very similar at the local quilt shop recently. I can't remember what project I was shopping for and why I was looking at those fabrics. I decided I needed to use stash fabrics and left the beach fabrics at the shop.
I love the understated color palette in your block... very calming! And yes that cat is adorable - it reminds me of my Tucker. Lovely work.
Looks great!
Your daughter is going to love the beachy quilt! The fabrics work so well together. I like the kitty and the others....Nice work!
I've joined in for the SewSweetSimplicity too! It's been a lot of fun to see all the different fabric choices.
Hugs,
Susie
