I haven’t been able to get much quilting done between spending time with my DIL at the hospital and spending time on the couch because I’m still tired from my cold. However, I did see something over on
Lynn’s blog that I wanted to try and could do while sitting in the waiting room. Above is a wonky 12” block that I made last week on the sewing machine. This week I tried some hand quilting on it.
This is a close up of my work. Wow, that black thread sure shows up the need to work on and improve those stitches. However, I love this block and will make it into a wallhanging or hot mat. I haven’t decided yet. Thanks Lynn for giving me the idea. You can see how Lynn’s finished block looks
here.
Knotty Girls meets Wednesday evening and I hope to get up to the
Attic Window Quilt Shop and get some pictures for you. It’s been over a month since I last attended, so I bet there are lots of new projects in the works
Have you seen this blog?
Stop Starting and Start Sewing has an interesting post/tutorial on how to turn one fat quarter into five yards of binding! Check it out.

I love your star! I particularly like that you used the same color for each element (points, center, background), but different fabrics. And I like hand stitching that is a bit "wonky" like the piecing.
