Blocks for QOV's Block Drive

I decided to make some blocks for Alycia at alyciaquilts.com. She is having a big block drive to help make some quilts for Veterans and service members. I made 20 of each and they are on their way to Colorado. I will be linking up with Judy at patchworktimes.com next week. I just don't have time to make a whole quilt to donate so this is the next best thing.

I love this quilt.  A special thanks to Michele Foster for the pattern.  

OOPS!

I just noticed that the picture of the Peony wall hanging was one I took before I added the binding.....and I really like the binding!   It's a small brown/tan/black plaid cut on the bias.  

Peony Wall Hanging

The quilting is complete and the binding and sleeve are in place.   As soon as my DH gets my quilt hanger with shelf hung on the wall, I can hang my Peony wall hanging.    I think he just has to put on a final coat of something or other and it will be ready to hang.  Unfortunately, he had to go to Fort Smith this morning so I guess that means I'll have to wait patiently for his return.  This finished about 49" X 49".

I've started another mini-quilt top but still need to quilt the last one - a Radiant Star.  Here's my "Prairie Moon & Star" work in progress.  Each block will have a moon & star in the center.  I've cut the background pieces 6" so they will fit in my small embroidery hoop while I sew the blanket stitch around the moon & star which is fused in place.   I will probably finish the blocks at 2 1/2" to 2 3/4" square - then I'll add sashing strips.   Will plan a border (or not) later.

I'm looking forward to getting back with the group tomorrow night - hated to miss last week.  I hope to see some Radiant Star tops near completion or completed!
