an early finish
barbara brackman has started a star sew-along using a different type of civil war fabric/color each week. today's first is using turkey red. rather than making an entire quilt--big or small--each week, have chosen to make 3 blocks per week that will give me a twin size quilt at the end of 49 weeks. and here they are! another reason for only 3 blocks is that most of my stash is FQs or half yards only, which should make shopping the stash for all the blocks pretty easy. this is gonna be fun! *** with frigid weather here it's ideal for quilting on the hawaiian, not that the apartment isn't warm, but a snuggly quilt is sooo, well...comforting! amazed at how quickly it is coming along, so hoping for a finish before spring arrives. so what are you sewing today?

Hmmm, very nice reds. Be careful or Vic might snatch them, knowing her love of reds. : )
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be exciting to have the Hawaiian done by then?
Oh boy, Janet is right, those are gorgeous! I'm gonna dig in today!
