Happy Hump Day! I know it’s no longer Hump Day for some of you — it’s almost not Hump Day here anymore either. That just makes it better!
It’s the 15th of the month though, and it’s time for another Aunts’ Quilt report. I’m just squeaking in under the wire. How are you little Auntlets doing out there? I think there are only a handful of you still hanging in there — Go You! Only three short months left and we’ll be done — the year is whizzing by!
Our assignment this month was the last two side triangles and two of the corner triangles. Here are mine:
I haven’t trimmed the blocks yet, that’s why the edges look funny. Not to worry though, it will all work out. Here’s my favorite block this month. I’m usually not a big fan of tulips in quilting, but I really like this one — I think it’s the colors.
And, as always, there’s a cookie of the month. TheManoftheHouse had a birthday yesterday, so I decided our cookie should be his favorite. Giant Snickerdoodles! These are really good and you should give them a try. They’re perfect for an afternoon of applique!
Next month will be a fun month for the Aunts’. We’re doing the last two corner triangles AND piecing the top (without the borders) together. I can’t wait! If you’re behind — work hard and catch up so you can see it all come together this month!
I leave you with a video you’ve probably seen before but I love it. Some people think it’s staged, but I don’t care — you can’t help but laugh! (Clicking on the screen probably won’t work, so click HERE instead.)
XOXO,
Anna
Love your Aunt’s quilt blocks, especially the orange/yellow tulip one ;-)))
Should I admit that I mostly come by on these monthly posts just for the cookie of the month? It’s not that I don’t greatly admire the quilting but….
I love this quilt!!!, can’t wait to see it finished. Appliqué is my favorite and I love your fabric choices. It’s so cheery. And I must say it would make an awfully nice Christmas gift for a friend????
Looking good!! And that’s just the cookies!! I love your fabrics – your triangles are fabulous. I promise to work hard again this month to get all caught up (once I find my Aunts’ Quilt project box when I restore all my sewing to the studio!!)
I love a good laugh first thing when I get up in the morning. This video really made my day. Could not happen anywhere than in America! Your blocks are fabulous as always and I especially love the fabric for the tulip of your favorit block. It’s utterly perfect. I’ve been stitching away yesterday all afternoon after I’ve seen your IG picture. Always helps to get a little hint ;)!
love the quilt blocks – snickerdoodles are a favorite here – couldn’t get the video to open for some reason
Loving the Aunt’s blocks but the video was a scream! xoxoxo
Love the triangles, but especially love the video! It was soooo nice to start my day with a belly laugh!
Your blocks are gorgeous, as always, the cookies look delicious, but it’s the video, which I had not seen, that has a giant smile of my face! What fun, and they both are so talented. Rock on!
It’s coming along beautiful! And those cookies are making my mouth water.

OMG that video made my morning. just shared it FB.
Love your setting triangles.
That is the BEST striped fabric for the stems!!!
This finished quilt is going to be amazing! And what perfect fabric you selected for the tulip. It looks like a real tulip. Thanks also for the Snickerdoodles reminder. Sometimes I forget about them and they are so serenely delicious! Have a great one!!!
Love following what you brave ladies are doing on the Aunt’s Quilt. That video is priceless!
Makes me happy to look at this quilt in the making – so bright and cheerful. Truly beautiful work.

That is indeed a *darling* tulip! You do such lovely work. (I am the Sarah who said I only read the blog like twice a year, but I am trying to do better, cuz it makes me happy to see all your pretties. Thanks again for sharing with us!)
:-D
That orange/yellow tulip, perfecto! I really do enjoy this quilt along, thanks so much for hosting and those cookie recipes!
Your photos are delicious! And not just because of the cookies (snickerdoodles?)!
I have absolutely no idea what a snickerdoodle is, but they look fabulous, as does the quilt. I’m really looking forward to seeing it put together.
