WIP

OK so I joined the Star Light Star Bright QAL hosted by Melissa back in January (I didn't find this till February so I tried to play catch up), well it ended in April. I am still working on finishing this up. Yeah I know it's June now.

I started out pretty well, got all my pieces cut and even laid out a possible block option.

 

 

 

 

 So at this point I started making my HST's and Geese and thought this is going to be a breeze! Then it hit me, I was going to have to lay out each block one at a time, UGH! I realized I needed to know which fabrics to pair of for the HST's and needed to make sure that my directional prints were facing the right way. So I carefully laid out two blocks and completed them.

 I am happy with the way they both turned out, but let me tell you the stripe on the second block definitely gave me a few more grey hairs! I pinned, moved, rotated, and took pictures till I thought I had it just right and still had two spots I messed up. I'm not telling where they are!! I decided it just added charm to the block, at least that's what I'm going to tell myself! After this I decided to quit for the day, and I just never went back.

So after a long break I finally made some centers for some of the other blocks for the quilt.

Oh buggers there is that stripe again! I managed to at least get it going in the right direction this time!

 

 

 

4 down and 3 more to go. Then it will be time to make up and add the corners and sides.  Wish me luck!!

 

I would love to see what you have been working on this week!
