Sawtooth Stars still in progress - Building Blocks Tuesday


Sawtooth Stars still in progress.

I'm still working on these Sawtooth Stars!  Got quite a few, but still need more.

What blocks have you been working on this week?  I would love to see.  Link up your fabulous blocks.  You put a lot of hard work into them - show them off!  This free linky will stay open until the first Monday of next month, but I will repost it every Tuesday until a new month starts.



Rules:

1) Please link up only to the page on your blog showing your wonderful blocks, not just the blog homepage.  Flickr and Instagram pictures are also OK.
2) Make sure to put your blog name as the description so people know where they are going or the name of your block!
3) Please grab my button and post it in your blog post or sidebar.
4) Visit other linky participants!

Thanks for reading,

Jennie

Hiatus OVER!! - a finish Friday

I am pleased to announce that I am out of my funk and have returned to quilting and blogging.  Almost the victim of blog-fade, I just needed to take a little break.  But, absence does make the heart grow fonder, and while I did take several weeks off of sewing and blogging, I did miss it and eagerly returned to my machine last week.  Here is the fruit of those labors....

Commission quilt


My first commission quilt is finished.  At first it was a little too much orange for me, but in the end I really like it.

The pattern is Rosalie by Valerie Wells.   It was a little tricky cutting out those hexagons, but the rest of the piecing was easy enough.

I used the same all-over flower quilting design as my Gigantor quilt.  It is an Angela Walters design, and I think it works really well for these large quilts.

Commission quilt back

Here is a picture of the back.  My "customer" originally chose these fabrics to go into the front, but they weren't teal enough, so we changed things up on the front and I promised to use the fabrics on the back instead.  I almost like it better than the front.

You can really see the quilting design with all that solid gray.  The texture will increase once I wash the quilt too - an added bonus.

Now I just need to finish up some shams to go with the quilt and I will be able to deliver it all well before the holiday deadline.  Yippee!

Thanks for reading today,

Jen
