I've started trying to figure out what to do for the backing. I really would like to buy a backing but I have several pieces of fabric and some left over half square triangles I can put on the back. It'll take me longer to do it but I'll use what I have on hand for the back.
Here are the Rail Fence Star blocks all ready to be sewn together. I may bring them with me to the retreat and sew them into a quilt there.
Many of the goals got check marks next to them this week. Since Bubbles was in for a spa treatment (ok, an oil and lube job and cleaning) I couldn't work on one of the items on my list.

I envision waves splashing against the boats!
ReplyDeleteLove your blocks! The sail boat are really cute. I agree waves along the boats and swirls in the sky. and I would do some crazy free motion pattern in the sails that are different for each boat. I am nuts like that.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't pick a favorite between these two quilts. Both are colorful and fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts!! I love the sail boats. What about waves on the hulls and continuious curve on the sails. That border fabric is awesome. I adore those rail stars, do you have a pattern for those?
