Friday night Sew-In Results

Hello all, Last night was another Friday Night Sew In. I am so glad that these happen every month. I get a chance to take a night all for myself. Well this Friday Night I started chain piecing a bunch of stars for a class I am taking with Rhea at Alewives Fabric. The quilt is Super Stars by Elizabeth Hartman.
This is what the finished blocks will look like the solid will be the same in all of them but there are 32 different prints. I love how this is coming together so much...
I decided to cut fabric to make another one. This one will have an I spy fabric in each star and the solids are a fat quarter bundle I got from Common Threads. I don't love the weight of the Common Threads fabric (very thin) but This isn't going to be an heirloom piece just a fun quilt.

That's all I got accomplished. Go check out what others have done at Handmade by Heidi.

Orca Bay - Overwhelmed

This is my sewing area on Friday night. Orca Bay has taken over...i can't believe how many little pieces have to get sewn together to make the final quilt. I had step 1 completed on time and step 2 was done a few days late and then I didn't like one of the color combinations. I finally like these colors together and am buckling down to get it done.

Here is a test lay out to make sure I really like the colors.

Amazing. Now to sew 224 more flying geese blocks. Then find some more neutral. There is a small border before an amazing border with 96 more flying geese blocks. I hope to have it all pieced by late this evening. Wish me luck!
