Weekly update: a finish and a start

 I made Spare Parts III last winter.
(I chronicled the design in this post .)

                                       

It's still pretty

I pieced the back last month. The fabric in the upper right was a "can't cut this" piece that I bought at Marden's in the early 1990's. I wanted to make a skirt out of it. Over the years I took nibbles here and there and eventually there wasn't enough for a skirt. (And nowadays that sort of skirt wouldn't suit me, so it would be hanging in the closet and I'd love the fabric.)

I quilted each unit differently.










During Sunday evening TV watching I made seven out of the 25 blocks I need for the baby quilt that's my August OMG.  The idea is from Quilts, Quilts and More Quilts! by Diana McClun and Laura Nownes. That's an oldie but still a goodie -- c. 1993.

The blocks are 8-1/2" (unf) and the novelty squares are 4.5" (unf.) .
