Christie Batterman, of See How We Sew, has just unveiled the April block for her charming 2012 Block of the Month project. Her "blogging sister," Darra Williamson, is making her blocks using fat quarters from Alex's newest fabric collection, "Leila Rose," produced by P&B Textiles. Darra says, "I love this collection! The variety of textures-large- and small-scale florals, dots, stripes, and paisleys-are attractive and versatile."
Take a look, at See How We Sew. Christie's post tells you how to access the directions for the April block, as well as the blocks for January through March, and a setting diagram for the finished quilt. The blocks are so easy-it's not too late to join the fun!

Cogs, Wheels, and Gears...on Quilts!
Don't waste a second! Join us ASAP as quilt artist, author, Quilting Arts columnist, and self-anointed "Goddess of the Last Minute" Robbi Joy Eklow shares some of her quirky and colorful work, including a recent series of cog-and-wheel-based pieces. In addition, she shows how to use Adobe Illustrator, a sheet of fusible web, and an inkjet printer to create a ready-to-cut-and-use design, and demonstrates an absolutely ingenious method for squaring up large quilts.
In the final segment, Alex teaches Ricky (and the rest of us) how to make a quick- and-easy gift using a 4" block, pre-made piping, and a secret ingredient from the pet store.
