I have been looking forward to the March block-a-day! I think I’ll do 4 blocks each day and make it a large bed-size quilt. My daughter has an Etsy shop of handmade fabric items. She passes her scraps along to me. I have several bags to cut up and use. This has gotten me excited and ready to jump in and reduce my scraps! Thank you so much for doing this. I have enjoyed doing it in the previous years and am all in to do it again. This time of year can be difficult - we’ve had snow continuously for 5 months, It can still be cold even though the light is coming back, and it is the anniversary of our son’s death, so this project is a bright spot for me! I hope you continue this each year. Thanks again for all your work to make this possible!
I have been buying and subscribing to American Patchwork and Quilting for the entire 30 years! 🙀 I can not believe it has been that long. Kudos to them. 😍🪡🧵
@Roseanne Carr Atkinson I, too, saved every magazine. The collection was crazy. After several moves, I decided to go through and only save a few because I purchased the USB stick from the company that has all the magazines on it. Saves a lot of space. 😃
I have been making 4 patches with 2.5 squares so I have a head start for March did not know what I was going to make with them now I know. thanks Pat. I did stay at Home and string bean
Good Morning from Lincoln NE. The sun is shining but it is very cold, wind chill -16, actual temp 4. This after several days of 50's. You mentioned half-square triangles as your favorite. They are mine too. You can do so many designs with them. Have a wonderful day. Glad you got to do some fun things. Carol B.
Pat your rainbow quilt was such a bright spot in 2020! The photos of your trip were wonderful. I’ll be in VA for the weekend just over the border of NC/VA. Hoping to get some pretty photos my self.

I have my Rainbow top scheduled for quilting in March. I am going to go look at my fabric and find something for this March's block a day. I never got to last year's but all the fabric is in a project box waiting for me to get sewing.
We drove the Blue Ridge Parkway as part of our 40th anniversary trip. So beautiful! I'm enjoying the QALs, even tho I'm not doing them. It's just fun to watch you and listen your side stories!
The block for March is Awesome, I love it❤ I was able to do the string bean last year & keep up, I still haven’t gotten it quilted but I have it hanging up & enjoy it every day ❤️ Thanks Pat for always keeping me motivated ❤️
You hit all of my interests with this video! Will be following Mr. Greg and getting my NP Senior Pass this year too, woo hoo!! That view in Shenandoah looks just like some we saw at the NC end of the Blue Ridge Parkway last year. We look forward to visiting the VA end and Shenandoah is on our east coast NP camping wish list. The 30th anniversary APQ issue has been fun to look at! I started quilting in 2002 and started collecting back issues of quilt magazines from the beginning. At one point I got all of the first year of APQ issues and made a flannel quilt from one of the designs in the first issue which is a family favorite. I've been downloading the blocks and am looking forward to making the "Blast from the Past" sampler. Thanks for the early heads up on the next "BAD" project (pun intended!!)! I'll need to figure out what stash I want to hit to do it. I layered my "String Beans" quilt this weekend and will get it done as soon as I finish quilting another quilt.
I use a Frxion pen to add notes or check off steps on patterns to help me stay organized while I sew. When I'm done I simply iron all of my pen marks away!
Love the Block a day for March. I am doing mine in red, white and blue. I have done all but Hope so need to catch up. Thanks for all you do for us sewers. Love you Pat. ❤😊
Fun outing with Mr. Gregg! Glad you got to do that trip! Road trips are always fun for us. We enjoy spring wildlife when we travel. I saw the deer in a field on Monday when I went to work with my DH. I've made all three of your block-a- day quilts! I have to make this one too! Challenging for sure as my schedule is busier. I am helping in the Sew-Powerful booth in March at the AQS Branson Quilt Show, March 22-26! But I am going to dare to join you! Thank you for giving us something positive to focus on during an otherwise difficult time in 2020-2021! And for all the free patterns you share with us! Love you, Pat! @quilterpatsloan✨️
We tried to get to skyline drive a month ago, it was still closed (ice & snow) since it is closer to 2.5 hours for us, we hiked Dickey Trail, the one that starts before the toll booths.
Liked how your using light aqua for the background. Congratuiations on contrubuting your gorgeous quilt to the Virgin Quilt Museum... What a Beautiful Gesture, So Proud of you!
I love your choice for a Block a Day. I’m going on a cruise in the middle of the month, so I may have to sew ahead a bit - which will be a challenge. Especially with joining you on three other sew-alongs at the same time. I’m trying to sew ahead on Scrappiness is Happiness so I can begin to get one out of the way.
I LOVE the rainbow quilt!! I will try to squeeze in “Cheerful” this March… March in NY is always horrible & very grey. Thank you for another fun and colorful video!
I would enjoy seeing a video of you making the green pillow, how to get the size right for the pillow form, cutting the fabric and sewing it. You always do a great job. Thank you❣️
Seriously need to search for this anniversary issue of American Patchwork quilt magazine (my sister would already have it)! Love the upcoming March project! Everything is looking good at your end but mine end seriously needs rearranging again for sewing cause it's not working as planned. Pat Sloan, have a great day & we'll see you online tomorrow...
I love that you are getting some time off and enjoy with your husband the beautiful places around you! I thought pineapple block would be the march block, and was looking forward doing it, but I like the new block! So easy! No triangles!🎉😂 and the size is perfect! And I just realized I didnt do the 2021! Hmmm dont know why! Any way! Thank you and have a nice day!
I actually just picked up that American Patchwork and Quilting magazine this past Monday. I was surprised to find it in our local Walmart. You're right, Pat, it's a nice edition. The pretty cover quilt is a "Scrappy Celebration QAL" that Lissa Alexander has just started. The March Block a Day is cute. My mind started spinning about using some charm packs that I have in my stash...
Pat and friends, I am laughing at the March "Block a Day" choice. It is the same as one of the Childhood Memories (#5) blocks. I liked that block so much that I made and finished a whole quilt using the Childhood Memories #5, So, I guess I am done with the March block a day! Tee-Hee-Hee. Mine chains are gold, yellow, and a little light orange but I have a life time supply of 2.5" squares. Perhaps, I should just choose another color and go for it......again!
Hi Pat! I did the Hope & the String bean ones! Loved doing them 😊😊 Since I've been trying to cull out lots of fabrics/scraps, I've been cutting lots of them into different pre-cut sizes so have lots of 2 1/2" squares. I may just use random colors for the little squares & still deciding on a background. Also, will make it longer to be a throw size. I shared this with a friend & she may be doing one, too! Loved the tunnel pic of Gregg!! What a great trip😊😊
So excited about the block a day pattern. I have done all the tops. Need to decide if I am going to do a theme or not. I am using my stash for Holiday Hoopla so I might need to use a FQB for this one.
I do like the March Block-a-Day pattern, could you do it with a Jelly roll for all the small squares & a different fabric for the other squares in each block, I have a Jelly Roll to use up.
Missed the live. No power here, could even be until Saturday that it is restored. Only running generator intermittently for two hours to keep fridge and freezers intact. Fire in fireplace. Stay warm and dry peeps
Oops! I meant “March” block😊. Are you doing all the same light background with different medium and darks or a variety of light backgrounds? Visualizing how a quilt will look like is not my forte 🤔
Good morning quilters !! For the March blocks I plan on using Sunwashed by Corey Yoder for the 2 1/2 , I am wondering what color to use for the 4 1/2 square's. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :] Thank You.
I just got 2 mini charms & a 5" Charm pack of Sunwashed from my local quilt shop. I just love them! If you want to use all the colors, since there's quite a few of cream background ones, what about a very light gray or a taupe? I just looked & my Charm pack only has 3 green blocks, so if I took those out, a light green would be pretty! Just a thought 😊😊

I have been subscribed to them for 10 years. I have all my magazine in date order in protective sleeves in big 3 ring binders.
@Roseanne Carr Atkinson I, too, saved every magazine. The collection was crazy. After several moves, I decided to go through and only save a few because I purchased the USB stick from the company that has all the magazines on it. Saves a lot of space. 😃
Pat, I love your hair today. Looks really nice!
I have been making 4 patches with 2.5 squares so I have a head start for March did not know what I was going to make with them now I know. thanks Pat. I did stay at Home and string bean
APQ has a great podcast I like to listen to on my commute. If I can’t scroll quilting pictures this is the next best for me.

I was born in Newport News, raised in Richmond. We used to go camping on Skyline Drive every summer.

We did the skyline drive in October on our way to Florida. It’s so beautiful there.

Skyline Drive…I’m jealous! Your green Harrisonburg block is stunning.
I noticed in the quilting magazine they said they started with you as a podcast when they first started!

Love the block a day…time to pick fabric! I also love your purple quilt. Just beautiful!
We also did Stay At Home in March 2020. I made that one featuring my fox fabrics.
Looks like a fun quilt for one a day📍
I’m doing the Scrappy Strips quilt out of American Patchwork and Quilting. It is turning out gorgeous! I’m loving it.

Check your local Walmart for the magazine--that's where I found mine.

Thank you for always bringing a smile to my day. I enjoy watching your color selections and layouts. I'm going to use the Cheerful block to use stash.

Walmart has the magazine and Krogers might
I bought this magazine this week - it's great!

Just an FYI....Amazon has American Patchwork and Quilting magazine subscription for $30 (6 issues, 12 months).
❤
I do like the March Block-a-Day pattern, could you do it with a Jelly roll for all the small squares & a different fabric for the other squares in each block, I have a Jelly Roll to use up.
you can see there are 2 size squares on the pattern. the jelly roll works perfectly for the small squares
👍❤️😊
I found a copy at Barnes and Noble.
Looking forward to block a day
Missed the live.

Stay warm! Praying your power gets restored! 🙏🏻
I love the quilt hanging in the second part of the video, what fabric is used and what pattern. ❤ ???
the quilts are linked under the video in the description box. i show so many things I don't know which one you want
I didn't see the photos of the quilts at Skyline Drive. Did you attach then?
What pattern is the red and white quilt with the red dot fabric? I love it, especially with the dot fabric
hi Linnea! it is listed in the description under my video. ::My Red and White quilt is in this book amzn.to/3IFMfnj where it is blue and white
@Pat Sloan thank you, I am ordering it today. I plan on doing a block a day also, sounds fun
what is the name of the red, white and gray quilt behind you? Gorgeous and would love to make it.
thanks! they are all listed in the description box under my video
Oops! I meant “March” block😊. Are you doing all the same light background with different medium and darks or a variety of light backgrounds? Visualizing how a quilt will look like is not my forte 🤔
Wasn’t there a snowball block a day?
not a march one. that was another project
Good morning quilters !! For the March blocks I plan on using Sunwashed by Corey Yoder for the 2 1/2 , I am wondering what color to use for the 4 1/2 square's. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :] Thank You.
I just got 2 mini charms & a 5" Charm pack of Sunwashed from my local quilt shop. I just love them! If you want to use all the colors, since there's quite a few of cream background ones, what about a very light gray or a taupe?
