A Little Gem

 My stash clearing friend,

 gave me some string blocks that

 she'd foundation pieced a while ago.


Last week I stitched them all up with two colored borders .

 The blue looked great and I found 

a red that complemented it.

The first day of the sale I managed to stitch the rows together.


She used a muslin square for the foundation.

The muslin doesn't add much weight to the top itself 

and it does provide stability to bias scraps.


They were stitched together 

in an alternating pattern and the additional border

will make them a nice baby quilt size.


It is off to the charity today for quilting and distribution.

I think it's a great way to say goodbye

 to a guild when you're moving away is a nice quilt donation.

Thank you CF . You will be missed!

Starry Nights

 It's been a busy week with 

stitching, family and lots going on.

A bit of progress was made on the

new mystery quilt at Conquering Mount scrapmore.

Only four more colours to stitch to finish up step 1.


Another batch of triangles were stitched up

on the way to stitching up some colour 

family blocks for another top from the Discovery table.



I even managed to finish up The Starry Nights quilt top.



Stitching late at night is always fun 

but it comes with a few hazards.

The quilt was so pretty I had to show it off to my husband.

While doing so I discovered this problem.

Can you see it? I see a few minutes with 

my favourite ripping tool ahead!

It is still very attractive but that one error needs to come out.

I also don't like the light background in the star block 

(lower right side) , so that may come out too. 

My  reserve of Wonky pointed stars 

has been diminished immensely.

They will be good to make on a stormy evening this spring.
