My main goal was to finish my tic tac toe quilt top and I did finish it...yeah!!! I got it and the back ironed last night and I had hoped to get it on the long arm today, but alas life interrupted me. But I will work on it tomorrow. As I ironed it last night my nephew saw it and really liked the pattern, so I think I'm going to change the color scheme and use the same pattern for my bees this year and make him one. The X's on his will be purple, the O's black and the backgrounds like grey. He was pretty happy at the idea of getting a new quilt. And I promise this is the last time you'll see this one until it is quilted.
Now as always I can't just have one thing on my list. I did finish my bee blocks and I got my selfish sewing done. You can read all about my selfish sewing in the previous post. My bee blocks were lots of fun this month, the hearts were sure easy and the double star wasn't as hard as I had feared.
I did not make any progress on the memory quilts or piecing the backing. Over all I had a good month, I just didn't do a good job of sewing my list. Now I have to figure out my goal for next month, but for now I'm linking up with Heidi at Red Letter Quilts.
So many pretty quilty things here. I have done some heart blocks, ours look similar, however yours look easier to piece. Lovely blog post.
ReplyDeleteYour projects look great Shauna, so much eye candy goin on!
ReplyDeleteLove the double stars! I've been collecting different 'print' prints, and I may have to steal your idea of incorporating them all into squares on the same quilt. Love that.
ReplyDeleteYour tic tac toe quilt is beautiful, I love all of the fun colors against the black and white.
