Work In Progress Wednesday on Tuesday




These are my Lucky Stars BOM blocks on the barn wall.  It was nice to see them altogether.  I was on the fence about the more subdued block in the middle but I think it works in the whole grand scheme of things, especially if I make another block with a bit of the lighter mauve in it.  I do think they are coming together nicely.

Other than that I have been making some more depression blocks in my black and white tv theme for my month of That Stash Bee.  I have also been receiving blocks in the mail which is a heck of a lot of fun.  I have almost all of them in my hot little hands and on the design wall but I need to make enough for a good size quilt.

Sign ups are happening for the Modern Scrappy Bits Swap on Flickr.  Round 4 people!  Sign up!

I also made a mini quilt for the Modern Mini Challenge at Ellison Lane Quilts.  But that is for tomorrow!

Linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced and the Needle and Thread Network for Canadian bloggers.

    I especially like the text fabric you used as a background in some of your star blocks. And they look great on the barn- nice setting for a picture!

    Stars have always been my favourite kind of blocks but often are the most difficult to piece. You are doing a great job!

    Lovely stars. I think the more subdues one provides a nice counterpoint and allows each to shine, while working as a whole too!
