Weekly Update

Quilting:

I finished the Twisted Star block from the March installment of the Block of the Month (BOTM) series by Deanne Eisnenman of Snuggles Quilts. I hand pieced it.

I also cut some of the fabric for the April installment, Weathervane Variation. I'm using the same blue as before. The background is a different color since I ran out of the beige fabric I used in the other blocks. I'm replacing the green with turquoise, and in place of the red I'll use a purple fabric from the same line as the green that I used in the other blocks.

Blackwork:

I did a bit on the Blackwork Chessboard by Anne MacGregor today.

I didn't do any work on my other projects.

BOTM Rolling Stone - Finished

I've finished the Rolling Stone block that Deanne Eisnenman of Snuggles Quilts chose for the May installment of her Block of the Month (BOTM) series.

I hand pieced it and used batik scraps from my stash. I'm usually a bit more original with my color choices, but I happened to have some fabrics in the same basic color scheme that Deanne used that looked so good that I decided to go ahead and use them. I'll mix things up a bit on later blocks.

I've already started cutting fabric for the March block, Twisted Star. I had just enough of the beige background fabric left, and I'll be using the same green and blue fabrics that I used in Rolling Stone and adding in a brown.
