Only 25 to go!

I'm a late player in the Project of Doom!

I know, Jennifer has been posting blocks since January, I am so behind.  Being so new to quilting, it takes me forever to even finish a block.  I've started and given up quite a few times.  Well, I really want this quilt, so, better late than never, I'm giving it another try.

So far, I've finished block 1 and 2.







2 down, 28 to go!  And then all the embroidery.  Mercy.

Batiks on Black are so cool!

I entered two quilt blocks for Ofenjen's Batiks on Black contest. I used her slightly twisted pattern, which I really like. The fact that I finished is a minor miracle.

There are 30+ blocks in the drawing and they are all so cool!. Whoever wins gets the lot. Is that totally cool or what!

Thanks Ofenjen!

K's first paper pieced quilt square! Go K!

Two more star blocks ready to mail! The green one is K's very first quilt square! *clapping and cheering*

She made it with just a bit of supervision; she picked the material, sewed all the seams but the first one, trimmed the seams herself, and pulled off the paper (she loved that part!). I helped her learn to cut the pieces to size and pin them in place. Neither one of us are really good at judging the placement of the material before we sew, and I had to rip out three seams for various reasons on mine.

These should go in the mail to hermione_jean today. Can't wait to see the finished Quilt!

Well,... it's not half bad really.

I'm not a quilter, and certainly not a paper piecer, but I managed to make a star block for the Bushfire Quilt Project. I read about the project on Ofenjen's HP Paper Piecing and although I am not good at this at all, I gave it a shot.

I used the Galaxy Star pattern by Moira McSpadden , because it looked easy, and it was. You can barely tell bits aren't lined up. And, as it's only my third block ever, I'm rather proud of it actually.

I'll be emailing the wonderful and oh so very generous hermione-jean to get her info and send it in asap. Thank you so much for volunteering to put the whole thing together hermione-jean! You are the best!
