Well I was away on my quilting retreat. Blissful five days. Ahhh......
I should have finished heaps of things. I did finish some but then got fed up with doing what I should do and not doing what I wanted to do.
So I started
A paper pieced really large star. I am thrilled with it. I got the idea from someone who blogged about an absolutely enormous star that completed made a huge quilt. This will have to have a lot of piecing around it. So you will see it over the next wee while as I go about finishing it.(Did I say that finish word??? Wow remarkable)
A new quilt for our bed. I was trying to make it "manly" so Aaron would be happy sleeping under it and so far he does not like it!!
A million half square triangles to iron and trim!!!
Love the star quilt going! And I love the quilt in the header too!

ReplyDeleteI really love the half square triangles, "manly" one, with such small pieces and intricate colouring it will be stunning. I can't believe Aaron doesnt like it!
