All caught up - again

I've been a little busy with non-sewing stuff, but I did manage to get caught up on my quilt-along blocks again.

Week 10:

Week 11:

Week 12:

and 12 setting blocks:

Just one more star block to go and I can sew this puppy together, adding to my stack of unfinished quilts.

All caught up!

Week 9: (the contrast is not quite right here)

And a little preview of what it might look like when I get the setting blocks made.

Seeing Stars

I've been catching up on the blocks for the Star Quilt-along.

Week 5

Week 6

Setting block

Playing with what it'll look like when done. I wish I could make setting blocks multiply like this for real.

I'm still here

Wow, I didn't mean to take another break. I just haven't done much worth sharing lately. That's about to change however. This morning someone's coming over and we're going to sew up a storm! I have an idea I'd like to work on.

In the mean time, I did make the fourth block for Amanda's star quilt-along. I've decided not to go with medium and dark fabrics, but only darks.

I'm still one block behind but that's the first thing on the list this morning.
I've been creating a little collage of the blocks to see my progress. I think it's time to start making setting blocks...

star quilt along - weeks 1 & 2

I wanted to participate in Amanda's star quilt along but, since I'm on a "fabric diet" right now, I wanted to use stash fabrics. I didn't even have white or off-white fabric to use as a block background.

So....I came up with this.

Pretty, isn't it?
Now imagine a WHOLE quilt with this green as a background. Ouch!
Well, guess what...
Diets are meant to be broken, right?


I'll use the pink and green block in a quilt.
Just not this one.
