Awesome looking projects! Omgosh...

Thank you, Sewbiz!! I'm beyond thrilled so far with the house results. Can't wait!

jangjang....gorgeous stainglass quilt. Love all the colors. Right up my alley..

jessica....stunning star...black and yellow is a fav colorway for me...

NZ...on man!!! Leaking roof stinks... I guess this is part of owning a historical home, huh? Hoping it gets fixed soon and you can get to sewing..

geevee....looking forward to seeing your colorful tote... This reminds me to make myself a tote. It's on my things to do list and I haven't been too motivated yet...lol..

I have finished the last two blocks for this week's sew along. I do not care for Holt's turned edge method (she uses sew-in interfacing and turns inside out and I need more practice). The points aren't as defined nor are the curves. So, on block 4 (cross red flowers), I used my tried and true turned edge method and it looks so much better, IMO....so I think I'm going to redo the blue flower block my way. Then...Just need to machine applique the blocks...

I'm going to be working on something this weekend. If my husband works part of the time, I'll work on an Old Guys Rule quilt I'm doing for him. The top is done, it needs to be sandwiched and quilted. Not something I can do if he's around and apt to be popping in to my sewing room from time to time. If he doesn't work, I'll probably sandwich another top I have finished from the BIBMA (before I broke my ankle) time.

Jessica, that black and yellow star is awesome. I can hardly wait to see it finished.

Had to do a little restart, went to cut the strip sets and realized I cut all the center strips 1/2" too narrow. Arg :( So just recut all of those and will sew them together shortly, once I get some sustenance in me. And coffee, plenty of coffee. lol

I spent far too much time today (and yesterday) on my latest word game... but I beat the goal I set for myself so am taking a lunch break. The postcard columns are each sewn, haven't started pinning the rows together yet and there is a washer full of fabric I will have to deal with for the border and the back now that I know roughly how long the quilt will be. Sometimes I wish I wasn't such a stickler on prewashing.

I haven't managed to do any sewing today but I'm sure enjoying popping in here to see what everyone else is working on!

I slept 12 hours last night and managed to not take a nap today, so I must be getting better LOL. I made one block for my Farmer's Wife challenge group. Family reunion tomorrow, so probably no sewing

I called in sick today and went back to bed. I slept until 11am! I am starting to feel a little bit better (or less miserable?) so I think the shot and antibiotics have gotten the jump on the sinus infection. I got some of my civil war Bricks and Stones blocks sewn. Just pacing myself. If getting this quilt put together is the only thing I get done over the weekend, that will be ok.

Thanks, I'll try

So Teen, do tell; what is your tried and true turned edge method? I haven't done a lot of applique, and would love to know what's working for you.

Alrighty, strip sets redone, cut and ready for assembly (probably tomorrow, my back hurts now lol).
