sneak peek

even though i haven't finished all the parts yet, i couldn't resist putting this together to get a preview of the finished top.  i spent most of monday working on the ohio star blocks and they are just about done.  i still have plenty of purple strippy squares to do and some of the green triangles to finish as well.  i haven't even cut the "lights" for the border yet either.  however, i will have a UFO finish this week some time, so that's good.  ****  also, spent time trying to create a bit more space in my room.  i've gone through all the elfa drawers and pleased to find they hold less fabric.  i also found a smaller tote for all my cross-stitch patterns/fabric, also good.  next up?  pulled some small pieces that have to be cut into squares/strips.  i have to do this occasionally.  ***** on the job front, i got another response to my applications, so that would be a game changer for sure.

  2. This is looking good - my kind of quilt. I used to enjoy your posts on Stashbuster though I hardly keep up with messages now. Good luck on the job front - Mary Quayquilter

  3. Changing Bonnie's black to green has made this look VERY different! I can see the Mardi Gras effect clearly.

    Since I made yellow 3.5 strip blocks, I'm very interested to see how yours are working into the design. However, I have ground to a complete halt on the making of parts with the HSTs. Don't know when I'll get my mojo back on this one since I am currently fired up about Judy L's UFO challenge [#5 this month].
