A little sewing is better than none

Hello everyone!  Thought I'd show you some of the progress I'm making on two of my projects:  the Cool Blues & my charm square stars. 

I spent this past Wednesday over at my friend Sue's house and we did some quilting, as we usually do...she has been a godsend during the renovation.  She welcomes me into her home, provides a wonderful lunch and I bring the eclairs...mmmh, I think I'm getting the better deal!!  I managed to make all of the hourglass blocks I need for my Cool Blues quilt and made one more block on my charm square stars project...here's the link for the pattern, in case you missed it last time...

Enjoy!

I tested out the pattern, using Dilly Dally fabric from Me & My Sister Designs and some white Kona solid...I really liked the results.

 

Two more squares and six to go.  I only have two charm square packages and cannot find another in any of the quilt stores in town...so I'm making a smaller version instead.

 

Here are a few of the blue and white blocks made for my Cool Blues quilt. 



This has been sitting in my sewing room for a few months and it's time to git'er done...this is my second PhD project and I would love to finish it by the end of the month!
