Here are some things that I've been working on lately.
This first one is a table runner that was on my design wall a couple posts ago and this morning I sewed it together. I have it in the "basting" department now.
Somehow, I got the urge to make some "10 minute blocks" and this is the result. Here is a link to a tutorial on how to make them. These aren't sewn together yet. Each piece of fabric was cut to 8" and each block uses 5 pieces of fabric. The black in the middle is also 8" when you begin.
This one is going to be a "quilt of valor" hopefully. I saw it on another blog and it looked pretty good - these aren't sewn together yet either. I will need about 70 blocks and I think I'm over half way there. It's a leader/ender project some of the time.
This is what each block looks like and it measures 8 1/2" square unfinished. When you put them together they form pinwheels in opposite corners.
Hope you are sewing this week too.
That 10-minute block is amazing! Thanks for showing the QOV block; I would never have guessed how that one went together. It is beautiful! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteWhile I doubt that I could make ANY block in ten minutes they are so bright and pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely and such a variety of projects.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't we all love to have a basting department where someone else did all the basting? : )
ReplyDeleteThree lovely projects. I think the last one is my fav, but they all make me smile.
