Vintage Holiday QAL (hosted by Heidi at Fabric Mutt)
I have my first 4 blocks finished. These were very easy to assemble and turned out quite cute.
Block 1 detail - love those little birdies in a row!
Block 2 detail - candy cane striped:)
Block 3 detail - a cute birdie and a squirrel in a tree
Block 4 detail - ooops, I think I assembled this upside down... See the leaves on the berries (or whatever they are? They are pointing down...)
And the full shot of the first 4 blocks:
Cherry Blossom Quilt using California Girl from Moda
I finally got the first block assembled last night. With only 9 blocks for the quilt, this should go fast!
Oh wait, not so fast, because I did this:
Shouldn't be sewing after 10 p.m. apparently.
Fixed it this morning and got this - much better:
Dear Jane - I now have 20 of 169 square blocks completed!
Name tag for RATZ (rapid and tiny zakka) swap
Making it up as I go - I know my recipient likes these colors. I think I have a plan for what do with this... The squares are 3/4". I will be cutting it down a bit. On the diagonal, I believe...
Well, those are my current WIPs and I'm linking up to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced. You should go there and check out what other people are workin on. Or show off your WIPs. If you haven't already, that is...
Oh, and the guest host this week is the wonderful Cindy of Live a Colorful Life, whose blog you should visit if you haven't before. Just so that is said!
All of your projects are just spectacular! Really love the Star of Fire pillow and Vintage holiday QAL, but who could resist Dear Jane and Cherry Blossom!
