I'm still behind the official schedule, but I'm making progress on my Waterfall quilt. Week 4 included cutting up the strips and making the first 3 blocks (for the baby size quilt).

My lights feel not so light to me, but I'm happy with how these blocks came out and I have stacks lined up for some of my darkest blocks next so you'll see the value contrast as I continue sewing. I think I also didn't follow directions for the strip piecing and may pick out a few seams to shuffle things around so I will have some lighter strips and some darker strips.

All the details of the Quilt Along are on Amy's Creative Side. You can see my earlier progress in my Weeks 1 & 2 and Week 3 posts.

This year my friend Bernie over on Needle and Foot ran a series of blogger bundles in her shop. I was the curator of the first bundle way back in January. I had such fun shopping her inventory of beautiful fabrics at her shop, Needle and Foot Fine Fabrics. Here are the first two blocks that I made from my curated bundle, with a solid grey added in.

Bernie is having a special event this week on her blog to show off all eleven bundles and for you to vote for your favorite (and have a chance to win them all! -- US residents only). Below is a glimpse of all eleven bundles. Be sure to hop over to Needle and Foot to vote there!

I'd also love to hear what your favorite bundle is and what you love about it. But be sure to place your official vote over at Bernie's giveaway post.
