Hunter Star

What a great day to use the AccuQuilt Go to make the Hunter Star Block!  Took awhile to figure out how to cut specific pieces, cut just white star shapes, the large triangles and thin middle pieces in the color I needed for the block. At first I just covered the die with a one color but didn't need some of the shapes in all the colors.  It's going to be a dynamite quilt!  I love the contrast.

So while I'm sewing the black, red and white blocks together I thought this would be a great patriotic quilt to make for the Veterans!  So got the GO out and cut red, white and blue to make a sample block.  It's now on my "TO  DO"  list.  

I'll have to get some fabric.. Only had a bit of red and this piece of blue in bin. The red section needs to be a print and not a solid.  Need yardage to do the quilt, well ok a trip to the quilt store won't be such a bad thing!

Katelin's Baby Quilt

Giggles is the name of the pattern by Jawbird Quilts.  I love the color - bold and solid.  This is the first modern quilt I've made.  I discovered that modern quilts take alot of machine quilting, thread and alot of time to complete the machine quilting.  I'm pleased with the quilt and was really pleased that she was thrilled with my gift.

Back has jelly beans, always a favorite with kids 

The pattern used 4.5 inch strips for the chevrons.  Thinking maybe I'll try 2.5 inch strips and see if I can make a bag to go with the quilt.  Everybody always has extra fabric.  A challenge, always love to challenge myself.
