Summer is here! I took the 4th of July week off to move to Maine for the summer and for a vacation. It was an extremely warm week even on the coast of Maine. The only cooling off was going on my sisters new 21' boat and swimming in the ocean. Maine ocean is a little shocking to the system but definitely cools you off.
The weather has cooled off today making it a great day to quilt. I am excited to be quilting again.
Quilt block 81 of my 200 quilt blocks is called "Double Square". What a nice easy pattern. In Judy's pattern in "Around the Block with Judy Hopkins", she uses only two colors, a light and a dark. I chose three colors to give it a little variation.

I was wanting to make a sweet baby boy quilt and this pattern did the trick. I urge you to give the double square quilt block a try. It is certainly a great beginner block. And remember to square up all your half square triangles so you end up with nice points.

I have free motion quilted spirals all over the quilt. I learned free motion quilting from Leah Day. If you ever want to learn free motion quilting, I highly recommend her videos. She can also be found on Craftsy.
