Back to Square One: October

For this month we had to make 12 of these star blocks. (At least I think I remember it being 12). Should start putting this together in November. I love how this is turning out.

Baby quilt

I am hand quilting a baby quilt for my daughter- in- loves sister.  The shower is Saturday. I've got a busy week ahead of me.  Too bad work gets in my way of being creative.  I only have maybe a third of it done. I have to be finished Friday so I can get it washed and wrapped. I'm using big fun stitches. And thinking I might should have used the machine to get it finished quicker. ;-). Plus my fingers are sore. Lol

  Hope she likes it. 

New quilt in progress

This is made from the last blocks my mother-in-love was able to cut before it became too hard from macular degeneration.   The strips are from her DH's shirts.  This quilt is for them.  

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.
