CW Hourglass

Another one down and three maybe four more to go.  I was laying the blocks out on the bed this morning and noticed that one of the blocks was a wee bit on the the smaller side.  Not sure if I can fudge it in enough.  Going to wait until I get the other three finished before I decide.

Batik Hourglass

Cut out CW reproduction fabric and batik fabric last night for two Hourglass blocks.  The pattern is from the Quilter's Cache.  Finished this block tonight.

Another Flyfoot

I've been on a roll lately.  Finished another block this evening.  

This block was made in CW Reproduction fabrics.  Not sure which one I like better the batik one or this one.  I love bright colors, but I really like the color of this fabric too.  There are five more blocks to go if I want to make two separate quilts.  I have an idea, but I'm not telling.  I'll have to lay all of the blocks out on the bed when I get done with the other five and go from there.....

Batik Flyfoot Block

It was raining earlier this morning.  Decided it would be a good day to stay inside and do some handpiecing or crocheting.  I finished my Flyfoot block and got the CW reproduction one cut out.

Rain, rain, go away.....

I'm just kidding!!!  LOL!!!  I love the rain even though I get tired of it after a few days.  It's just spitting outside for now.  Hope it waits until after I get to work before it downpours.

I got up early this morning and finished the hst's for the Flyfoot block.  The results of having insomnia.  It's one of the blocks for the batik quilt that I'm handpiecing.  I started the batik quilt at the same time as I as the CW quilt along with some really nice ladies on a quilting forum.  I'm way behind.  Try a couple of years or so behind.  As I always say, better late than never!

Here's another flower for the baby quilt.

The pattern called it a round flower.  I think that it looks a little like a rose.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

One Daisy Down

Here is the first flower for the purple afghan that I made.  It's a daisy.

I found the flower on the Red Heart yarn website under their free patterns.  The flower is from the April Flowers Wreath.  I used a bobble stitch for the center instead of attaching a button.  Wouldn't want the little one to choke on a button.

Lady of the Lake

 This is my Lady of the Lake block.  I'm so glad I got this block finished tonight.  What should have been easy was a pain in the butt to do.  Cut the hst's by the pattern and was off by 1".  I cannot sew scant 1/4" seam whether it be by hand or machine.  Cut some more out.  Had some what was I thinking moments when doing the cutting.  Cut out too many hst's for a second time.  More scraps.....sigh....

On a brighter note....I got started on making the flowers for the baby afghan plus I cut out the hst's for a Flyfoot block.  I cut them bigger than the pattern called for.  Lesson learned.  =)  

The picture below is the beginnings of a daisy.  I'll have to figure out something for all the centers of the flowers.  The pattern has buttons for centers.  I think they are cute.  Little ones don't need to get a hold of buttons.  I have an idea, but you will have to wait and see what I come up with.  =)
