Last Light Blue Saturday of January 2018

Not a very successful month for me...only 2 and 3/4 blocks.  (See previous posts having blue butterflies.)

Here's the work of last week.  This is the 3/4 of a Snowflake block. Maybe I'll finish it today, but hubby is home and requires my attention.

(Patterns for butterflies and snowflakes are from 365 Foundation Piecing Blocks  by Linda Causee. It was a wonderful Christmas gift from my sister, Barbara, in 2005. I've used it for all kinds of patterns, flowers, light houses, borders on an I Spy, birds, etc. It's a paper piecer's bible.)

Even though I love the book, I still have a pet peeve about some of the patterns. See that center "flower"?  I'm leaving that open and going to cover it with a yoyo. That many points coming together would just be a mess.  How come some designers don't understand this?  I see the one in the book that is made  of fabric has no seams there. 

Enough complaining... I'm off to get ready for a late lunch out with my Beau.

Happy Weekend!

Blue Butterflies and Black Geese

I have been piecing,  honest!  These are for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge on Saturday next.  This month's color is light blue.

These black geese were for the RSC also, but I didn't get to taking any pictures. The color triangles are from the same piece of fabric, the others are each from a different black scrap.

 

Next up, four different snowflakes with light blue skies.... paper pieced, of course.

 

Happy Humpday!

Ancient History

Paper pieced about 10 years ago. This is part of the back of a baby quilt made for my Great  Grand niece.  (Sorry it is so out of focus...I took the picture as a reminder, not to be shown to anybody.)

And here is the front. My Grand niece was into raising and showing rabbits. (This is actually the second top I made. The first one showed pink from the backing through the rabbits. Now I would leave it, but then things had to be "perfect". I've since learned there is no such thing.)

Have a lovely weekend.

Terri
