The Road So Far...


I'm getting ready to make my large centerpiece square, but that won't be ready to post for a while yet. It's a big one and very complicated. So until it's done and ready to be shown, here's a look at all the blocks I've made so far.

All blocks designed by me can be found Here. Any made by others can be found on FandomInStitches.com

Starting at the top we have the Samulet.


Designed by me. Twice. I like this simpler slim-lined look. I wish I'd used a more golden fabric for it, but I like it anyway.

Next is Bobby's Hat.


I adore it, but I'm probably not submitting it to FiS. Another designer has used the same reference picture and I think her's looks better. Mine needs an outline to see what it is, her's doesn't. So she'll submit hers, but mine will be here on this page.

John Winchester's Journal. I adore this one! All the embroidery variations available for the blank page makes me giddy to think about!


The Colt.


I'm contemplating outlining this one. I did add the pentacle on the grip, but it might benefit from a total outline. Otherwise I also love this one.

Angel Wings by Jessica Blacknall


All the feathers make this one a stunning piece, but also a complicated one. Be careful of the piece closest to the center, the feathers are tiny and require some concentration.

Castiel's Handprint.


This one seems to be the favorite of all my friends. My co-worker has even threatened to steal it before I can get it into my quilt :). I've been thinking about outlining all my blocks, but this one I don't think needs it. I'd even go so far as to say outlining this one might detract from it. I'm not sure, but I'm not gonna outline this one.

*Surprise Block that I can't talk about yet and just now realized was in this picture. You're getting a sneak peek at a block by accident. It's still being tested and isn't ready to be posted yet.*



This is the block that started it all. I have no idea why, but I saw a fabric at the store, the same fabric that borders this block in the picture at the top, and thought it would be great for the Impala to be on for a Supernatural Quilt. Searching for an Impala pattern online brought me to FandomInStitches. From there I fell in love with fandom quilts and started to design my own blocks. And yeah, I still haven't added wheels to it. It's on my list of things to do lol.



I like this pattern, but I might make it over in colors that match the rest of the quilt better. You just really can't make it out, all the values are too close together.



Another pattern that benefited from an embroidered outline. I love how it turned out, the bone/fossil colored fabric just makes it.



The very first quilt pattern I ever designed. I'm still proud of it. It is also the first one to be posted on FandomInStitches.




Another stunning pattern. More complex than you'd think for such a simple symbol. The rounded edges add more pieces which adds to the difficulty.

There you go. Those are my quilt blocks so far. Now to work on the centerpiece then to decide how I want to finish it off.
