February Sewing

So - guess what - I won these 20 Nordick Star blocks at the Pine Tree meeting this month.

They are really pretty and all but one are very well sewn. I was thinking about how I might set them together maybe using the narrow sashing like in the blocks. And then I thought of all the UFOs languishing around here.  I decided to offer them to a gal who really wanted to win them  as a group she was in was doing a red and white quilt challenge.

Ready to deliver to Shirley!

These are the blocks for the March Meeting - one features a children's print and the other is a disappearing nine patch using warm autumn colors.

I'm still looking for borders for this Medallion Quilt pattern from Edyta Sitar. I added three more rounds than the pattern called for. 

I made WAY to many half square triangles so I am using them for another quilt that uses 16 per block.

They are then bordered with a one inch wide black borders with cream colored cornerstones.

 I think I have about 40 blocks that need to be bordered - I just found a black I really liked last week. 

Going to the beach for a retreat with a few friends - so will round up a few easy projects to work on while there.  The weather has been perfect for staying inside and sewing.
