Forge Ahead

I have my dresden plate finished ,so I may spend a little more time on other things. So hence I am forging ahead.  I finished my block of the week for  temecula quilt co.  Hope you will join in this too!  It will be a small quilt. Meet you there thursdays in march.


I also got my Aurifil block of the month ready to stitch.


I finished block nine on my henrietta whiskers quilt by ann sutton.


So then I was able to add it to the rest of the blocks. WaaLaa! Center is finished!



Then I added the two borders.  Now I have to prepare 5 crows and seven stars to applique in the borders.


So it is not finished yet.  Plus I like a pieced backing I use up all the extra fabric left over and perhaps add a little new stuff to create a little more interesting backing. 

How do you know what you can do until you try?  So forge ahead my friends.  martha

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.
