Hello Quilt Friends! Happy November!
The holidays are upon us. And we're remembering to bless and share with our neighbors around us.
This last couple of weeks I was inspired by Debbie @ aquilterstable and her project with Hour Glass Blocks. I like the challenge of Hour Glass blocks, the piecing and the color placement. I didn't want to get a big project going so I decided small would be a good place to start. My small quilt top measures 10.5" square and will probably get a few more borders added for a table mat for a Christmas gift. I used the Ruby Star Society pink and red print in a few of the Hour Glass Blocks.
And hand quilting my Half Square Triangles in Barn Raising Formation Medallion with Borders Quilt , 56" x 56", is almost done. Yey!
If you haven't seen Ruby Star Society's fabrics lately Fat Quarter Shop has a good selection with affordable prices. The colors are inspiring.
That is the quilt news from the valley. Have you finished any holiday projects or are you just starting?
I'll be by to visit.
Fun to see you playing with hourglass blocks too! ;-) Enjoy finishing up your hand-quilting your medallion.
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun with that hourglass block in Tara’s class. Then I fell behind and need to play catch up - seems to be a recurring story in my creative life these days
