sew what's new?

I have changed the quilts in my house yo autumn inspired! I finally quilted and bound my "Puss in the Corner" small quilt. So let me share with you.... Next is the Laundry Basket quilt  ..... I also got a few more hexies made.... Also been playing around with bigger hexagons and the hex'n more ruler and sidekick ruler. Want to get a few recipe blocks written down for Prairie Women's sew-in , Any one of these blocks could be used to make a quilt , candle mat, or mix them together. Can you see the cube or box? This block is called " inner city"  because blocks are all going in different directions. This block I have found goes by two names. One is "Texas Star" and the other is the "Sunflower " block.  It is big enough to make it a candle mat. Not for for sure what proper name is so I call it my "star block".  I will be working on a few recipes tonight also.  Enjoy your day and than...

AFTER THEY ARE ALL PUT TOGETHER THEN I TAKE OUT THE FREEZER PAPER  AND PUT THEM ON A LARGE PIECE OF FELT AND SEW THEM DOWN.  CUT AWAY EXCESS FELT (I LEFT A 1/4") AND YOU ARE FINISHED! BRENDA AT COUNTRY FABRICS  SUGGESTED TO DO THIS SO THERE IS NO BINDING OR TURNING INVOLVED.  IT IS NOT GOING TO GET WASHED MUCH ,IF AT ALL. LOOKS AND FEELS SO MUCH LIKE FALL BOTH INSIDE AND OUT AT MY HOUSE.  WE HAD A CHANCE OF FLURRIES TODAY ; IT DID ...
