It's been a long time since I've posted, mainly due to adding school in on top of everything else. I've snuck in a bit of time for sewing, but most of that time was working on two gift quilts and making this year's 2nd grade quilt. I have one more "have-to-do" item - a wallhanging for the daughter of a friend, using blocks signed at her wedding. The goal is now to have this done by the end of July so my friend can hand-deliver it in early August when she travels to see her daughter.
I've downloaded the Blogger app in the hopes that it will make blogging easier - still will type on the computer, but the fact that I can take pictures straight into a draft post might make it just a little easier and therefore more likely to get done!
I got all the pieces cut a couple weeks ago, using leftovers from a bedspread my friend made for her daughter. There will be stars as cornerstones, and a gray fabric from the quilt as sashing.
I'm paper-piecing it - my only hope of getting it to be reasonably accurate as I put it together! I am really enjoying working with these colors:
D helped me lay out the colored squares today; it took a couple tries but finally we found a layout we liked. Just realized I took this picture when two of the columns were over at the machine. Three of the five columns are now assembled and trimmed - now I feel like this is going somewhere!
