My week is starting off with a couple of finishes. My new quilt made with Pat Sloan's fabrics (mostly Hometown Girl) was finished just in time to hang on my front door to celebrate the 4th of July . I've been wanting to make a flag quilt using aqua (love this combination) but saw a heart block made with strips so I combined the two ideas and came up with this. This quilt measures 24" squares and was quick and easy to made. The heart block measures 16" finished.
And another happy finish, all of the Smitten Blocks are done, the final 18 blocks are done. The other blocks can be seen on the following post, (here) and it only took watching all of the Gilmore Girl series and sequel, six movies, one documentary with eight episodes and six episodes of Blue Blood to finish the 28 blocks. I just need to paper piece the setting blocks, decide on the layout and then I'm ready to sew the blocks together. Is it just me, but does paper piecing make your fingers sore?
It's only Tuesday, the 4th of July and I was hoping I could work on some more projects but I have to call it a week. My granddaughter Micah and my DIL are coming in for an unexpected but happy four-day visit so quilting will have to come to a standstill. Maybe I can work on the replacement quilt for my Grandmother quilt, (you can read about it here) while they're here, because I still hoping to get it back from Micah.
Have a Happy and Safe Holiday!
