A Little of This and A Little of That

Just a little post before I do my Fabriholics Anonymous post this evening.  I did get a few things done over the long holiday.  I had Tuesday through Friday off.

I started out with this stack of string blocks and added six more to make a lap size quilt. I got these string blocks in a swap a couple of years ago.  I am determined to finish up all of my projects that had completed blocks.

It finished up like this.  I gave it to a friend who will finish it up and give it to the Alzheimer wing at her Mom's assisted living.  It has lots of nice seams to fiddle with.

I also had  numerous blocks from my Block Swap Adventure.  I had enough for the quilt top and enough to piece some into the back.  I have finished the top but do not have a picture yet.  It turned out to be twin-sized and will make a nice quilt for our guest bed.  Below is my stack of blocks.  I never changed my profile so all of these are in traditional fabric.  I wanted to have enough to make a quilt.

I also have a picture of the Lucy Boston blocks I have so far.  I have a long way to go to make a queen sized quilt.

I did get some additional goodies before I start my fabric diet.  I got some more Denyse Schmidt fabric both FMF and Chicopee for my stash. I do so love her fabric.  Also, Craftsy was having a wonderful fabric sale and I got a stack of Amy Butler Soul Blossoms for about $1.25 per FQ.  I also scored on a stack of Kona FQ's.  I got 40% off of the sale price on these since I bought a four yard cut of Kona Snow a few weeks back.  I am finally going to get around to doing the 2012 Block of the Month quilt with Amy Gibson.  Love all of her blocks in the sampler quilt.  I got a spider web ruler from my Amazon gift cards.  I am going to make a few spider web quilts with fabric from my ever growing scrap bins.

Blocks, Blocks, Blocks

I finished up my October and November Block Swap Adventure Blocks.  One scrappy trip and one windmill.

I also got three modern maple leaf blocks completed for our charity blocks for December.  I love all the fall colors in these.  I might have to make a Modern Maples quilt for myself.

I am digging into my stash to come up with some of the fabric.  I purposefully bought some of it just for these blocks.

I had a really nice Thanksgiving at my daughter's house in San Antonio.  Got to see the grandson.  That is always a treat.  I bought some backing fabric at the various Black Friday/Cyper Monday sales so I can complete some  Christmas presents.  I think I am going to have a very busy month.

Moving to Bloglovin

I made some gifts for my fellow executive committee members for the Austin Modern Quilt Guild.  Our term is over and we have new officers.  We were such a great team.  We really worked together well and got a lot accomplished over the past year.  Now I am back to being just a member.  I am hoping to get on a few committees so I can keep busy.

 I had made a few more, however, I finished right before I had to leave for a meeting so I did not get pictures.

This is my June Block Swap Adventure block.  A star in a star.

This is my hexie bee block for June.  This one was fairly easy.  Next month's will be more of a challenge.
