What did I do this week?
I signed up again for Elizabeth Dackson's Lucky Stars Block of the Month again this year. This is January's. Oh my goodness. What a lot of pieces! And the bonus block is just below. I made that one at the sew in on Saturday with my guild buddies. It took me all day because there was a whole lot of talking going on and subsequently, a whole lot of stitch ripping. Erg.
And together they look like this... Interestingly, the January block is a bit smaller than the bonus block and I think that I am going to make it work because I just don't fancy making another one. I think that could have been another template printing issue. But the funny thing is that I printed the templates at home at the same time. I am just going to make it work.
And this is what it all looks like together on the design wall so far. Placement is completely random at this point. But it is starting to look pretty nice!
And I have started another quilt. Yep. So far it is just cut up fabric. This is going to be Geometric Slide from the fabulous new quilting book Vintage Quilt Revival by Katie Blakesley, Lee Heinrich and Faith Jones! Such an awesome book!
And that is what I am working on this week. Linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for Work In Progress Wednesday .
