On the Design Board Today

It was a cold, gray weekend, which turned out to be perfect for getting stuff done around here. After having a standoff with Hubby about insulation, we both compromised and I cut while he hung it, and we got all the walls finished Saturday. Sunday afternoon, I was able to get in a few hours at the cutting table and sewing machine. After arranging and rearranging several times, I was able to finish only three blocks. But it should go faster now that I have a system and more of the star tips tacked under. Now I'm trying to decide if I want a secondary block in the corners or just have floating stars.

  1. Those stars look great! I assume you will hand or machine appliqué in place? I notice you've had a lot of success on UFOs this years. I like that you've listed what you want to work on and finishes both flimsies and totally finished. Great job.

    1. Thank you, yes, I am going to machine applique onto blocks.

      I had success with UFOs early in the year, but lost momentum when it started getting warm and other things came first.

    1. Thank you. I like the gray too. The blocks seemed disjointed against white or cream, so I wanted something with a subtle pattern to tone them down. Thank you for visiting!

    1. Yes, and thank you for the suggestion of gray. I was thinking a tan or green but the gray, with it's dotted lines, worked best.
