{Post #96} Loving This


Can hardly wait to make myself one of these out of shirts!  I have to put the thin border on the last two sides.  The HSTs are just sitting there.  I happen to have enough to fit on one side finished.

{Post #95} Buckeye Queen 15 Blocks Strong


My parents will be here in about 18 days.  I have this crazy goal of finishing this before they get here so they can take it to my sister on their way home.  This is 3 rows with the vertical seams sewn together.  I really like this, and just took the plunge.  I decided to make the HST border instead of wimping out and doing a solid piece of fabric.  I cut down the triangles cut off to piece in the pinwheels and only had to add a handful of other scraps to make enough.  

We are having company tonight, so I have to get some cleaning done in our guest room.  Will be working on this as I have time.  Flying along so far.

{Post #94} Buckeye Queen


This pattern is called Buckeye Queen.  I saw one on Pinterest.  My sister did, too.  She said "I'll take one of these" when she saw it.  So I cut one out yesterday AM and am plugging away at it now.  This is just pieces and parts laying on my design wall.

I randomly cut out the large squares, then the smaller ones for the pinwheels on point.  I pinned the color for the pinwheels onto the intersections so I could spread them out.  The left 2 vertical rows are completely sewn, but not sewn to each other.

I bought multiple packages of ground chicken and chicken breasts yesterday.  Now they're all cooked up and ready for the freezer.  I need to go package them.

I like this quilt pattern a lot.  I am eager to sew the center together.  The next border is thin, one fabric, then a HST border, then a wider one to finish it off.  I'd like to make one for myself out of men's shirts.
