Mariposa Quilt Along – Week 3
Week 3 of the Mariposa Quilt Along begins now!
It is time to get these blocks finished up! Are you ready?!
Fabrics
For my foreground, I’m using all fabrics from Maureen Cracknell’s Gloria collection. My background is Clothworks Ivory.
This Round’s Task
This round we are finishing our last 6 blocks!
Here is a video tutorial for the flying geese if you need it.
Here is a post on how to build a design wall if you are interested.

Tips:
- Once you have all your blocks completed and on your design wall, floor, table top or wherever you lay them out at. Leave it a few days, let it stew. As you go through your normal routine, take a look at the placement of your blocks and see if you feel any need to change them around. I like to keep them on my design wall for a few days for this very reason.
Prizes
I’ll be choosing a winner on January 25!

Having all my blocks on the design wall is REALLY making me smile. I keep walking by them, and I just keep smiling. How’s it going with yours?
