Monday ain't over yet

So, I got the patriotic star quilt off the design wall.  I took it to the small group and what did I do?  I left the white at home on the design wall.  :(  So, it still needs to be finished, but I've started 2 other quilts.  The one on the left is a hidden wells.  This is a darker than normal quilt for me, but it is for a man and should be fine. 
The second one is the cardinal fabric and I am snowballing a corner of a large red polka dot with a tan that will end up being a hst and then a smaller snowball ove the tan.  They will be planned kinda like a pinwheel.
That blue thing hanging off to the right is the turtle wall hanging I still need to finish.
Now, my design curtains are holding the sampler society flower named blocks on the left, the waste hst block in the middle and a pink and green quilt on the right.  The far right has Lynne's apocketfulof mystery alphabet blocks. 
Do you think tht is enough of having things going?  I only have two of those 5 that are UFOs.  :(  I should be setting my priorities different.  LOL
Check out the other design walls.

Small Sewing group

Got the borders on the horse quilt.  I like the way the bluebonnet fabric brightened the quilt.

this is Judy's quilt made from a jelly rolls.  I love the colors and the simplicity of it.

Lana is doing the hidden wells in green.  I think this is definitely the green quilt.
I started working on a hidden wells myself.

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.
