This week

 has seen more block making, some quilting and some prep for another quilt. I was given 24 quilts for the oncology ward so I have been sewing labels on them in the evening.

This is the Sylvia block from two weeks ago but I don't think I recorded it finished

This weeks Anthology block is called Bars.

I made another Storm at Sea block, 5 made 11 to go!

I made two fpp heart blocks this week, this is how they finish 

They look so much better once trimmed.

Sylvia's Sampler block this week is Clay's Choice.

The cat quilt is finished and will be going to its new owner Monday.

I have been making EPP kite blocks into hearts, I saw on Instagram that a lady pinned hers all down to wadding and backing and then sewed a row of zig zag, I thought that was a good idea, so that is what I am trying. It took all afternoon to iron and starch the hearts and take the papers out. The rows are pinned and the zig zag has started, just one row so far. Hopefully it works! Got to try anyway!!
The hexies are coming along well, I have 5 more to join onto the outer edge and then some big flowers to make to become the next row. I have used a lot of the hexies I had left over so now it is onto making new ones.
Off to do another row of zig zag!
Happy stitching.

  3. You have been busy. That looks an interesting method of stitching down the hearts. I will be interested to hear your thoughts on how it worked out.

  7. lots of lovely work Sue, you have kept up with your blocks so well and will soon have a quilt load of them. Storm at sea is going to be so effective with those fabrics giving movement.... love it. Clever idea with the hearts.... do you think it's easier that way?

  13. The heart blocks are my favorite in today's post! I like how the red pieces seem to wrap around the body of the heart.
