So glad to report that my big work in progress (my baby) is growing well and everything looks healthy. Praise God! I am feeling less pain this week, probably because I’ve been sitting more. Also, I am growing, cough cough, less than I anticipated so hooray. *high five and eat some more Easter candy*
Now on to quilty matters. This week I finished my blue star quilt.

For other on going WIPs. As I mentioned, I’ve been sitting more. Hence my current projects are hand projects. I added more hexagons to my pink, orange and purple hexagon quilt. I can’t tell if I like this any more. I’m definitely tired of it. So progress has been slow going. I am only going to add seven more hexagon flowers.

Annnnnnd since I finished a project I get to start a new one. *guilty, Grinch grin*
I feel guilty about starting this one because it is another EPP project and so I’m pretty confident that progress on my hexies may stall out. But my rationalization is that since I will be sitting more I need more variety. Right?!
So from my collection of 1930’s fat eighths I chose my Pam Kitty Morning fabrics and cut diamonds. And to save money and a trip to the store, I also made my own paper templates from this website. (Worth a click!)
My pretty, rainbow stack of 1930s repros |
The plan is to make 6-pointed stars from these diamonds. I cut enough to stitch up 24 stars. The diamonds finish at 1.75 inches a side.
Pretty, little stacks |
