Week 8 of my 100 Modern Blocks quilt is cut and sewn.

It might work!

Woohoo! Last 6 blocks are done, onto sashing!

One of these is not like the other. SMH

Got the pink hippos done. Only orange lions and blue elephants left until assembly.

Switched gears to my Everglow Star Cluster quilt.

Keeping up the pace on my 100 Modern Blocks quilt. So far the blocks go together really quickly.

Did you know? Women fought hard for these rights, don't carelessly throw them away. Or allow them to be taken without a fight.

When will this nightmare end?

Finally finished my granddaughter's Chromebook case. It's not as wonky as it looks. I hate that it takes a bit for everything to relax enough to look decent. I'll make couple of adjustments when I make mine.

Got my taxes done so I rewarded myself with a quilting related activity. Blocks cut & ready for week 7.

Yet another snow/sew day. Blocks for week 6 are pieced. I'll sash them later.

This quilt was made by my 12 yr old granddaughter. I helped out with borders since I was going to bevthe longarmer I wanted to be certain it wasn't a nightmare and long seams aren't her strong point. I also did the binding for her.

Quilt made by me. Quilting pattern is Modern Feathers.

I took advantage of a snow/sew day and finished week 5 and got sashing done for all 25 blocks. 25% done.

On a roll, week 4 is ready to sew also.

Back at my 100 Modern Blocks quilt. A bit late on week 3 but ready to sew.

Another finish today! I'm so happy with my Gypsy/Wanderer's Wife quilt. I used Alispn Glass fabric, mostly Sun Prints. Enlarged it a little with borders. I quilted it with variegated thread in a bubble and waves pattern.

My blocks for week 2 are finished. These go together pretty quick.
