September Bloggers Block of The Month

I just whipped up the September Bloggers Block of The Month designed by my friend Sherri McConnell (A Quilting Life)

This is going to be a great way to use up some of my Kaffe Fassett scraps.

I'm all about scrappy quilts right now.
I'm determined to use what I have and try and get my stash down somewhat.

The Bloggers Block of The Month is a perfect venue to keep the Kaffe fabrics out on the table.
The September block was easy to put together, thanks to a nice tutorial over on Sherri's blog.

It made me think of how much I miss getting together with Sherri, especially now that I have moved.
Sherri lives a few miles south of St. George, just across the border in a small Nevada town.
I went through my archives and found a few pictures of us over the years.
Last April we went to a quilt show together.

We used to get together at each other's homes for sew days, and I learned so much from her about color and design.
Not only is Sherri a talented published designer, and stunt sewer for the famous, she is also one of the nicest ladies I have ever known.

Love your block! Definitely a great excuse to keep Kaffe out all the time. Sherri did a fabulous job too! Is the move official now??

My first block has polka dots too! Sherri's tutorial was really easy to follow. I'm hoping to trim down my stash as well...
