Happy St Patrick's Day!
I couldn't decide which to put in the title. LOL :-)
And I am sooo happy to be here! FNSI was so much fun! AND the power and cable stayed on! :-D Although this morning we have had sleet, snow and rain, but we aren't supposed to get any accumulation of snow, so its all good.
Now on to my results~
I worked on my Just Takes 2 blocks, and although this doesn't look like I sewed much, I did! The block on the left is paper-pieced. It took me forever and there were mistakes in the pattern. I thought I would get an email if there were corrections, but I didn't~ the errors weren't bad ones, the templates all printed fine. But I cut too many of one piece and not enough of another. I was most unhappy with cutting too many as I am working with a FQ bundle and can't really afford mistakes. I guess when my fabric runs out, I'm done. ;-) The pinwheels on the right are too light. I had that swirly fabric as one in the bundle and needed to use it, maybe on pinwheels wasn't the best choice? And the bottom is one third of the feathered star. I think I did as much ripping as sewing to get that much done. LOL Mostly 'operator error' LOL :-) Since today is National Quilting Day~ I am going to continue to work on these blocks and catch up a little bit. ;-)
I hope you find some time to sew today too~
And to have a little St Patty's fun!
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

Looks good to me. Love the blues. Happy St.Patricks Day to you to.
What great blocks!
That is a lot of sewing and it all looks good. Don't worry about those light pinwheels. When the whole quilt gets together it may be the relief you need between more intense blocks. My JT2 is a bit behind but I will just keep going along.
Happy everything...
So glad you got to sew on FNSI - and even more today...enjoy!
I am soooo glad that I am not the only one that did so much un-sewing on that Feathered Star. I did the Mariner's Compass today and after the FS, I hand pieced this one. It's another challenge.
I think the blocks look great!
The blocks look great! I am sure it will turn out wonderfully.
That looks like plenty of progress to me! Keep the pinwheel block around--sometimes those lower contrast blocks are just the thing a busy quilt needs. Good work!
