Baby quilt

I took a break from quilting my table runner to put together this baby quilt from a panel plus some leftover HSTs that were in my stash. Feels good to use up stuff that has been sitting around for a very long time.

Both kitties helped me measure the charity quilts before they went to their new homes. Now I have to get back to clearing off my kitchen table as we are having company tomorrow. Hope that you are having a great weekend!

Cool table runner...

I wanted a new table runner to put in my kitchen on my Island. I bought the pattern and ruler to make this when I was in Florida this summer. I picked up the fabric today at the LQS (it takes eight fat quarters) I'll give you the info on this tomorrow (I guess actually today)  and show the finished table runner......

Friendship Stars

These blocks are part of a project that my guild is working on. We are making them from fabric left over from finished quilts. I had picked up eight kits to sew before my trip to Ohio and then miss placed them after only sewing two.

 I found them last night and finished them today. Now I can hand them in at the September meeting. Our guild uses these blocks to make comfort quilts for members in need. This is a good start for the week.

Playing with Bow Ties...

I now have over a hundred bow ties made. I looked at this layout and decided they needed something.

 I tried this layout and found it interesting. Then my oldest daughter told me it looked like snowballs, sure enough it does and the bow ties are lost.

 Then I tried sashing and I think it looks better.

 Next I turned the blocks and I really like the secondary pattern.

I assembled one nine patch of bow ties. Added the black print for sashing, but think it should be thinner. Counted my bow ties and have enough to make sixteen blocks. Guess I still have more bow ties to make. Now I need to figure out how big of a quilt I want to make.
