Progress

The Patriotic star UFO center is now sewn together.  :)

I will now put a small white border and then a larger blue border around this quilt.

Pillows finished

I have made a total of 6 patriotic pillows with the leftover UFO blocks

Pillows are so easy to make, and I make sure the back is made like a pocket to allow for the pillow form to me put inside.

I also like the pillow to be fully stuffed, and will run an extra casing around to let it puff more.

So, this one UFO will turn into 7 -- 1 quilt and 6 pillows.  LOL

Pillows

I have been working a few more UFO pillows.  :)

I can almost get to my design wall to sew the quilt together that these star blocks were leftover from.

I'm using up the patriotic fabrics I have, and I had the pillow forms in my cabinet, so I am happy

One patriotic pillow

I am trying to use up these extra blocks from the start quilt.  Here is my first patriotic pillow.

Pillows are so much fun to make.

Caught up

Photos are not all that great because of the light from the window, but I finished the meadow lily block for sampler society. 

I would never have tried most of these blocks, so this has been a fun time. 7 down and 5 more to go of these blocks with a flower name in them.  :)

While I've been working on the sampler blocks, I am making these from my bonus hst.  They are 8" blocks.  I'm thinking I'll set it with 8 blocks wide and 9 blocks long.  With a border, that should be a nice lap quilt.  We shall see how many I do and how big it becomes as we go along 

On to the next thing.

Christmas Tulip

I believe this is this week's BOW for the Sampler Society.

That dark color is actually a purple.

I have one more block, the Meadow Lily to be caught up.

Sunflower

Sampler Society Yahoo group is doing a BOW that has flower names in them.

This is the sunflower block.

I have 2 more to do to catch up.  :)
