Shelves

It's been a long while since I worked on this quilt!

I cut the dark brown shelves for the Harry Potter quilt 2.5" wide from a wood grain fabric from Riley Blake.

Because this quilt is somewhat narrow, I'm planning to do a pieced border on the right and left sides, and then do an outer border with some Fairy Frost in a color to be determined.

Getting closer and closer to being done!

September Stash Bee Block

This month for Hive #4 in the Stash Bee, Cyndi asked us to make a Weathervane block designed by Elizabeth of Don't Call Me Betsy. What a great stash buster block! :)

More progress (and a quilt I got as a present!) as well as another review coming soon!

Hey, Good Lookin'

I was getting kind of tired making the Block Bs for my Lazy Sunday Mystery Quilt, so I decided that I would start sashing together the blocks from the center out, and somehow I thought it would make my life more organized. Jury is still out on that one.

Here are the four center blocks prior to sashing:

Sashed together (I am so happy about my tiny medallion cornerstones!):

And here's how far I got before I needed to cut more sashings:

Hooray! I love it so far and I'm happy that I didn't go with a white background for once.

Fussy Cut

No finishes here today, but just a little more progress on my Lazy Sunday Mystery Quilt.

I have just about finished putting together all of the pieces for the second block for the quilt and started the cutting on the centers of the Ohio star-like block. The fabric that I chose is a print from AMH's Innocent Crush line and I decided to fussy cut the fabric so that there is a "burst" in every center square.

One downside to fussy cutting is a lot of waste!! I decided to "skip ahead" in the directions a little to part 4 (I'm not quite finished with part 2 yet, whoops) and fussy cut the setting cornerstones out of the scraps.

Is it just me or are these really cute?

While I'm not quite done finished making all of the hourglass blocks (almost!!) and not made a lot of progress with the corner blocks, I have enough done to show what the next set of blocks will look like! I am in love with the orange and can't wait to see how the final block looks with the fussy cut centers.

Happy Friday to you! And this is the last chance to enter my blog-iversary giveaway -- entries close at 8 PM tonight!
