We could see the Chicago skyline -- there's a tall building in the far distance behind the concrete pier on the right (in the water).

Lime is the the color this month at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge .
Here's my bubble block.
And, speaking of blocks, I won the Block Lotto! I will get 42 Twinkle Stars to add to the six that I made.
The United Methodist Women will have tables at two craft fairs this month. I made five table runners using 6.5" crazy-pieced Christmas blocks left over from this project back in 2010.
Each runner has a different back.
I'm making Christmas potholders from blocks-on-hand, too.
I've used different colorways, fabric genres, and strip sizes for this year's HeartStrings quilts. A back issue of "Easy Quilts" had a pattern that inspired me to try a different design for the 11th HS quilt. I assembled it Saturday. I'm a month ahead!

Quilting Is More Fun than Housework
Lucky You, winning the twinkle star blocks. I can't wait to give them a try -- after Christmas ....
ReplyDeleteHurray for the win! I'm loving making twinkles, myself, right now. Can't wait to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteLots of quilty goodness going on at your house. Congrats! on the Block Lotto win!!!
ReplyDeleteYour heartstrings quilt is really neat!
ReplyDeleteWow, lots going on in your sewing room. Your Heartstrings quilt turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a superb job using all the fabric you have acquired. Excellent. Just a hint, did you know you can set your links to open a new page rather than to take folks away from your page? Ask me how I know. Ha! It takes a check in one of the boxes on the bottom left. Then, I can check something out but not lose your page! Have I ever mentioned that I'm a) like a raccoon --ooooh shiney new quilt? or b) Dory in Finding Nemo? I could be six pages away and forget where I started. Ah, that explains why I have so many unfinished projects! Great blog with lots of fun inspiration.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning all those great blocks. I love that heart strings quilt too. Thanks for sharing all this scrappy goodness with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteThe table runners, the lime green block and the string top are beauties. How lucky to win the block lotto, sure you will have fun assemble another star quilt.
