After finishing the quilting of
Here's My Heart, it was really nice to get back to some piecing. I was behind on some sewing for my bee, so I got busy on that. I made 2 more blocks for our Quilt in a Box project.

I also made 2 more sets of HST's (half-square triangles) for our HST swap. We're swapping these out for the next year or so in groups of 32 (
because that's how many you can reasonably make this size out of 2 fat quarters.)

We met this week and swapped these latest sets out and I already cut mine down to their 3.5" unfinished size. (
We decided to let everyone cut their own down to be more accurate.)

I've added them to my basket. It's growing slowly. Right now I have 128 of them. But before too long, I'll have enough to make a nice sized quilt. I'll have to pull out my quilt books and start looking at patterns. Any suggestions?

The other day David showed up missing a patch of hair on his face. He's an indoor only cat and we can't figure out how it happened. He's not injured, except for the missing fur. I can only wonder what he got into?

The weather here has finally turned spring like and gorgeous. I hope you're experiencing the same in your part of the world! Have a lovely weekend!

I really like the blocks you are making for quilt in a box. They are lovely. You can so so much with the half square triangles.
ReplyDeleteThat is a funny place to loose fur. I cannot imagine what happened.

I love hst's too, and am currently in the process of making a quilt that appeared in McCalls Quilting Sept/Oct 2011 called Scrap Sensation. It is a variation of a mosaic block set in a diamond pattern with sashing and corner stones. I saw the quilt in person at Homestead Hearth in Mexico, MO and it is STUNNING!
