Works in Progress, 9.28.11

Finished projects in the last few weeks:
(full post, with more photos here)

Kaleidoscope Quilt
(full post here)

(still catching up!)

I actually have 7 blocks done so far, but the photo looked nicer with 6. 
I'm using fabrics with circles or polka dots,
and hoping that this comes together nicely in the end.


September do. Good Stitches blocks:
Tutorial for these stars is at Cluck Cluck Sew


Farmer's Wife Sampler:
My favorite block so far, #105 "Wild Goose Chase"--
this block came together easily with paper piecing!
Block #29, "Economy" -- it was so easy I made 2!

New project started:
Swoon!
I'm in love.  This block is amazing.  And huge (wow)!

  4. Well I came over for the Swoon...each time I see a new Swoon I change my idea about what I'd want to make with that pattern! Yours is gorgeous. But, now that I am here and saw the bag FLOS - Oh My Goodness. Drool-fest going on over here! Thank you so much for sharing!!! Going to click around a bit too...

  12. Love the library bag! I have a whole quilt top of just book shelves so that is what caught my eye. The swoon block is great. I have seen several others and I am just going to have to check that pattern out! Very nice quilts all together!

  14. I love the bag, your use of colors is great. I love colors. Through synesthesia I see colors when I hear names and numbers, this is fun.
