I spent more time yesterday working on Galaxy than I did on Love Shack. With the V Block ruler from Studio 180, as with all Deb Tucker's rulers that I own, you make the block slightly larger and trim it to the exact size. The down side of this is that's a LOT of trimming. The up side is the blocks go together perfectly and you don't need to trim the blocks up at the end. I ran out of units just as I was finishing up for the day yesterday.
On to my goals. Last week I was very successful. Let's hope I can continue the trend for this week!

I leave you with a picture of Pat and I on the Nags Head Pier. It was chilly most of the days we were there but we did spend a little time sitting on the beach and enjoying the surf.

Happy Quilting All! 
I love the colors in Galaxy!! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour heading photo is gorgeous!! Your two quilts are wonderful, too. They are both so bright and colorful. Love Shack is so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteGalaxy (of stars?) is coming together so well.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the beach when it is cool. I'm not so fond of sand getting where sand shouldn't get!

ReplyDeleteThe love shack is a great pattern.... That's from Bonnie hunter .. Right? Did you see her in person? I took a crumb class from here... I finished that wall hanging and now I'm working on a really big crumb quilt. Happy sewing:):)
