I'm making a little progress in my sewing room.
I've completed 6 Honeyberries blocks. :-) I need to cut a little more tan before I do anymore so that it gets mixed in with the other blocks. I don't want one section to look 'different' from the rest.
One of my girlfriends has gotten me interested in the history of the Lone Eagle airplane block and we've both been doing a bit of research. I just had to try making a block too. I need to applique the propellers on, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. Wouldn't a 2 color quilt look neat in airplanes?
And I'm continuing on paper-piecing stars. It is slow-going for me. I'm not a fast paper-piecer but I do love the results. I've just finished printing off 6 more blocks. Then I'm going to need a sanity check! :-)
Have a happy Friday!

Holly at andsewitis.blogspot.com made a quilt using that block, or at least one very similar. Check out her Feb. 2006 archives for a beautiful photo of the finished project (took me a little bit of time to find it, but I just KNEW it was in her archives somewhere!). It is a great block and I have a similar block pattern that I've been meaning to try out for my son.
Cheers!

Wow, you did a great job drafting that airplane block. It's almost identical to the pattern I used. Only the tail is slightly different. I look forward to seeing where you go with this. It's also nice "meeting" you :)
