lots of hexagons and epp

I have been working a lot on the One Block Wonder the last few days.

I got the blocks done (well each half hexie is just pinned together overlapping a bit, this way I can see what it looks like, but when I sew them together, they go together in rows)

I wanted to have a neutral on the border

First I picked this off white fabric

Then this off white with green, I liked the white better

It’s hard to tell, but the rows are sewn together

then the same off white border all the way around too to frame it- after I trimmed the uneven edges straight

And green borders on!

with a skinny white in between.

I also flipped the quilt around, it was close to square

but finished size is 55” x 60”

I have binding strips made now too, just nee backing and then quilt it!

I’m still quilting a customer’s king sized civil war quilt, it’s taking a while, as I have to really concentrate with a custom design so I can have Sonja around much.

Well I TRY to quilt when she is napping but sometimes she’s awake

I had to stop here and took some pics of her, I don’t want to accidentally bump into her while she’s BEHIND the machine.

While I was working on the OBW quilt I also used this “Boxes” quilt as a leader and ender project, I’ll have a pattern for it soon.

It’s super easy, let me know too if you want to be a pattern tester- I’ll add you to the list.

and I’ve been working on some AHHHH’s

finished 3 Sunday on the ride to and from church!

#41

#42

#43 – don’t know WHAT this one looks like, it’s called Waiting room- I don’t see it at all. I see a Jewish dreidle

I also prepped 52 1” hexies for a “secret” project.

AND Last weeks Women of the bible BOW was MARY, this block is the star of Bethlehem.

I thought I could FPP, but I had to EPP it, some of the pieces were a little off but it turned out okay, I love the blue and white combo

I also got my issue of Mccall’s Quilting – I was not in it, but I saw THIS!!

Someone made a girly version of my Owl quilt – it’s a hootie.

It’s ADORABLE!!

I saw this on FB the other day and thought of my friend Michele
