Sew Sunshine

Project Quilting 16.3 is all about Common Blocks. At first I was not sure what I was going to do. I wanted to stick to my idea of making P.Q. pieces for charity and so with limited time this week I was thinking ...no way! Then I remembered this little panel quilt. It actually was a yard so double what you see here. I decided to cut it narrow and then add some common blocks to fill it out.  I pulled out some colors that I had close by (with out digging in my stash) and made some blocks to add.  Friendship star was first. Easy block but every time I make one I mess it up. ha I did play a bit with the fabric placement.  Simple 9 patch.  Played with the fabrics here too. Lastly the simple 4 patch border.  And the crazy thing is it is finished on Wed. I think it is true the more you have to do in a week the more you get done. I don't want to push that thought though. I want to share this cool art exhibition my friend Jen went to see last Saturday. This piece is from ...

My goal post for 2nd Qtr you can see HERE   I am happy to say I finished both! My first finish was a carry over from Qtr 1. I am so happy to have it finished.                                        "Enchanté " - A charm pack quilt                                          49x 51 Little Black Dress fabric My second goal was my Friendship Star quilt top HERE  So happy to get both of my goals finished for the quarter. Wonder what I can do this quarter?  Linking up with 2nd quarter finishes HERE  

So instead of getting some great pics of my finished Friendship Star quilt I went out to lunch and did some shopping with a friend. :) I am happy with the finish and I quilted it with wavy lines which is one of the programed stitches on my machine. I love how crinkly it turned out. You can see the crinkles a little better here. I am still not sure about using all that white on white fabric for this quilt but it looks so springy. Linking up with Crazy mom quilts Finish it up Friday (even though I am late) HERE
