Asterisk Quilt

Asterisk Quilt – complete!

I finished a UFO!!  An honest to goodness, 2.5 year old UFO!!  Woohoo!  I’m very slowly cutting down on that pile.  I’m trying to be good about not starting new projects without working on the old ones.  It’s been tough but soooo satisfying to finish up those older projects once begun with such enthusiasm.

Mario quilt 3,888 pieces

3,888…

In case you’re wondering, that’s the number of 1.5″ square blocks that are in my Mario quilt.  Yes…almost 4,000 teeny little blocks sewn together along with sashing and borders and backing and general craziness.

Goodness! This week seemed to get away from me. It’s been week two of horrible colds (finally got Caitlyn on an antibiotic just to help clear up anything lingering…any tips on getting her to blow her nose? lol) and week two of a complete roof redo. They just may be finished with the roof today…certainly

Quilt as You go Blocks

Quilt as You go Blocks

So I tackled a couple of blocks that I agreed to make for a special quilt.  They are done in a scrappy, quilt as you go style.  And I include selvages for the first time I think!  This was the perfect way for me to try them out.  And I think I might be hooked.
