Not as planned, but all good

This weekend was supposed to be quilt club weekend but this interfered just as I expected.  I was really bummed to miss my friends but I did have this view outside my sewing room and I made the most of the weekend, including spending time packing for my little trip.

My first goal was to quilt 2 more veterans quilts. Both of these were made by Peg. Peg, Karen and my Mom are geniuses at scrap quilts. Just a few HST blocks sprinkled around makes this more than just jsut a scrap busting quilt.

Peg also made this one. She was using up a bin of random width strips. If you look close you can see that the logs are different widths. She said she started with the red square and added logs until it was big enough to trim back to 12.5".

I like this one so much that I might make one using this basket of symmetry fabric strips with black. But I'll look through my scrap basket to see if I can find scraps to use for the other half.

Here's the big news form the weekend. All of my blocks for Summer Sunset are done! I had the arcs left to do and I wanted them done before I left. This will give you a little idea of how this quilt is going to look. If you need one of these for yourself you can get the pattern here.

Here are all the pieces and parts ready for me to start assembling when I get back. I am soooooooo excited about this quilt!

​My goal is to post every day this week but I might not. It is a vacation after all. So don't worry if you don't hear from me. Have a great week!
