What I've been working on.

 These hexagon blocks are being auditioned on different color backgrounds. I've decided to use the black fabric for these. I think the blocks will make a nice wall hanging for my office. Maybe a window covering.

I auditioned these blocks and decided to go with the yellow fabric for the background.

 The following 5 blocks have been sewn. They are made following the designs Stack-N-Whack by Bethany S. Reynolds. I'm totally addicted to these designs. I have 20 blocks for this LeMoyne Star. I'll use 16 for a wall hanging and do something with the other 4. Maybe a pillow. You can click on these images and enlarge them to look at.

I was working on more of these today but it was 87 degrees in my sewing shed.

Purple Quilt part 2

 This is a quilt I've been working on for my step-mother (boss at work). I've made gifts for my father but I don't think I've given Goldie anything that I've made. I'm very grateful for her taking care of my father all these years and especially now that he is over 80.

 I'm doing this quilt in 4 sections because it is so big. I think each section is 40" x 50". This section is quilted in a spiral circle. I used a walking foot but it isn't very smooth.

 This section I free-motion-quilted each square. Some squares I just followed the pattern on the fabric. Others I did swirls or feathers and other designs.

 This section I did all over swirls. It is the first time I did swirls. Hopefully they will get better.

This is the back of the 4th section, I did circles that I feathered around and inside.








This is the whole quilt. I haven't sashed them yet. I laid them out and discovered that I put one border on wrong. "AHHHH!" If it wasn't quilted already I'd fix it. I've decided that I'm going to add a thin light border and a thicker green border to try and make up for the mess up. I think I'll do kind of a wish-bone or ribbon candy sort of quilting on the borders.

Next time I do a full size quilt I'll lay it out before I start quilting. Lesson Learned!
