With the blog hop coming for the release of Volume 16 of QuiltMaker's 100 Blocks coming next week, I decided to make a quick quilt showing just one way that my block can be used. I was able to get half of the pp'd block sections made over the weekend and pressed. Still need to trim them to size though. 8 of the remaining pp'd sections have been sewn as of this morning leaving me with only 12 more to sew. The final 4 sections are pieced 'normally' and I'll make them after piecing the others. I'm hoping to get all of the remaining sections made tonite after I get home from work. Final project will be a table topper that will be approximately 36" square.
The other project I made progress on was the second wall hanging of my triptych of the Christmas story. Angels are now fused down and this one is ready to layer, baste and quilt. Fabrics used for the angels are a silver Fairy Frost for the biggest one and two different prints with gold metallic in them for the smaller ones.I'll be doing raw-edge stitching of the applique elements in this and the other hanging that matches this as I quilt them both.
Gratitudes:
1. Safe travels with friends yesterday as we all went 2.5 south for a senior recital of the daughter of good church friends.
2. For the Trim Healthy Mama plan that is helping me to get my diet under control and, Lord willing, continue to lose the weight that I need to.

All your projects are great, but that triptych will be stunning!
