As the new year began I took time to make a list of projects I want to complete. It is a
mix with some WIP (works in progress), a few are long time UFOs, a
couple of dream quilts, and some charity/comfort quilts and QOV
(quilts of valor). I have 20 quilts so far on my list. There will
surely be some added and some pushed on to the back burner but at
least I have a guide for the year.
Wednesday at church sew
day, I sandwiched a top for quilting and gathered backing pieces for
a child's comfort quilt. At home I decided to catch up on piecing
for the Seeing Stars Sew Along. I like Diane's concept of
piecing panels made from a variety of blocks.
You make the number of
panels for the size quilt you want. I am working on a twin size
quilt which needs 12 panels. Thursday I finished piecing the geese
units for step 5. She gives you options, but I did not get creative
for this step and only made geese units.
Next I pulled units of
a WIP and this is how far I got yesterday. About half the big blocks
were left over from my Rainbow Scrap quilts year before last.
Instead of making a lap quilt, I made some more blocks so they will
make a full size bed quilt with borders. The first border will
finish the stars.
Have a great weekend and
maybe enjoy some time sewing and quilting.
I have linked up with Whoop Whoop Friday so stop by and see what others are doing.
Gorgeous! Love your Rainbow Stars. ;^)
