The finished on point 9 patch blocks, still have a stack to do but thought I would report the progress.  They are time consuming but the method I'm using (Jenny Doan from Missouri Star Quilt Co.tutorial) is really turning out nice and pretty accurate.  Now to get off the computer and start stitching..

Have a few minutes before we start shampooing the sun room carpet and boy does it need it.  I have all the nine patch blocks squared up to 6.5" so as soon as the white fabric arrives I'll start to cut the triangles to assemble the top on point.  I love the way these blocks turned out, going to be a bright, cheerful quilt.

Projects since March 2018

I am working on a fun project using a jelly roll and it is turning out really pretty, I have 100 6 1/2" nine patch blocks ready to add the triangles to assemble the blocks on point.  Fun stuff and they are turning out bright and pretty.  I am waiting for the white to come in from Missouri Star Quilting. Co.
This is going to end up a Queen/King size quilt, handling this size quilt is so hard for me but I'll conquer it.   These were my last project in March, they will be ready to use next year.

The string block top from hell is done and ready to be quilted.
Pictures of our furry little house guest, she went home yesterday and boy do I miss her.  She supervised the finishing of the top, was a real trooper.

I had to take most of the top appart as some of the strings were going the wrong direction and of course they were in the middle not the edges.  So rip it, rip it, rip it, in other words practiced the Frog stitch.

This is about as organized as it gets when I'm trying to "get er done".  Doing string blocks to use up a bin of strings next to the sewing machine.  Then need to tackle ufos, trying to use it up and get er done in 2018.  If I ever get the room organized and cleaned up again, I'll post photos before I tear it up again.  LOL  Having fun on a snowy, cold Mon. in No. Il.

I am really stumbling around without a project.  I have to get rid of scraps, either toss em or use them up.  Bins are overflowing and I need to at least get them so I can close them.  I just need to cut some 12.5" muslin foundation sqs. and get going and quit   I have to focus, focus, focus.  Christmas over, New Years over and wedding over.  Time to quit whining and start doing.

Finished Wedding Quilt

The wedding quilt is done, down to the label and ready to be wrapped up for the big day Sat.  Now to find my next project which I think is going to be a simple blue jean rag quilt, a quilt as you go.  I also need to finish Katie's Christmas quilt, it is sandwiched and ready for quilting.  I'm feeling really good about the finish, now to get it ready to give away.  It feels like I'm giving away one of my kids.  LOL
