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.
Obviously, projects I am working on in secret. Might be wedding, engagement, birthday, baby, or thank-you gifts.

{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.
