Design Wall Monday 01/13/14


I did a little more sewing this weekend.  Four more blocks for the Quilts of Valor quilt.  Life is getting busier and busier, but I was able to get these blocks made on Sunday.  Small progress is still progress!  I love the blue fabric in the lower left hand block.  I'm not sure where I got it, but I only had enough for this block.  It's very satisfying to use up some scraps.  All of the fabric (except the outer border) will come from my stash. So happy about that!  I'm going to track my fabric uses and purchases again this year.  I forgot to report some purchases last year and then the reports stopped.  I'm back at it this year though!  Really trying to downsize the stash.

Design Wall Monday 01/06/14


I finally got some sewing done on Sunday.  I'm slowly working on the Quilt of Valor I have in mind.  It's starting to come along now!  I have all the pieces cut for the whole quilt, and was able to put together half of them - the striped blocks.  The rest of the blocks will be the star block shown above.  Those will take a little more time than the other blocks, but I've gotten one of them done.  Just 16 to go...  I'll try to work on them a little after work each day to keep this project moving along.  We'll see how that goes!
