The plaid and stripe HST's are for a recycled shirt swap project I am doing with my friend Bingo~Bonnie. We are each making a bunch of blocks and then exchanging, so our quilts will have lots of variety. Bonnie sent me a box of shirt sleeves from her thrifting and they have worked wonderfully with my collection. :-) Thanks Bonnie!!
The red/white HST's are going into 6 inch blocks for a siggy swap we are doing at retreat in September. I have over 60 to make, so thought I should get busy. ;-)
This is the result of my weekend sewing~ I had 2 other blocks and 1/3 of the feathered star done after FNSI, and I kept sewing to get some what caught up in the Just Takes 2 quilt along. I haven't done the 2 blocks that came out on the 15th~ I am seriously thinking about doing something other than a hand sewn compass star. ;-) And I don't have the honey bee applique block finished yet. ...one of these days I'll feel like it though. ;-)
If you visit my Mom's blog~ Granny Quilts; then you know that she had knee surgery on Tuesday. It went very well. :-) She is still in the hospital~ hoping to go home tomorrow. :-)
That's all for today~
Hope you are having a great Thursday!
Until tomorrow~ (when I will be revealing a little project I've had the pleasure of working on) ;-) ;-)
Happy Stitchin'!!

I LOVE your snowflake! It's beautiful!!!
Good to hear the surgery went well.
Good idea to have a box full of half-square triangles. Love your blue/white blocks.
I once made a quilt with over 1000 triangles and guess who designed that quilt? Me. Love your blocks :-)
I've just completed the hand-pieced compass...check out my blog post about it. I'm glad it is done, but I sure wish I'd tackled it differently or even not at all...
Your feathered star is so pretty! It's going to make a beautiful quilt.
The Feathered Star looks awesome. No hand sewn Compass? Hope your mom continues to do well.
