grand illusion finished!!!

two flimsys done!

This has been a productive week!  I put eyes onto my elephants, birds, turtle and frog and then sewed the rows together for the top to "The Elephant Parade" on Wednesday.  Then today I sewed the blocks of my "Irish Chain Twist" together to complete that top.  I only have the picture today of the Irish Chain, but hopefully I will quilt these two tops in the next two weeks.  The Irish Chain is done in red, white and blue with golden pinwheels.  Once it is done, I will donate it to our local veterans home.

I also sewed the "hanging quilt" block for Dreamworthy's QAL that I will swap this month.  They are such cute blocks!!!!

Applique Blocks

irish chain quiltalong assignment done

Here's my blocks for this week's irish chain quiltalong assignment.

house-bound again!!

For the second time this winter, I was house-bound.  Our area got a 10" snowfall Thursday morning so my road was impassable for several days.  I got a little sewing done, but I am excited to see the sunshine and think that spring might really be here!

 

The first block is the March block in the Galaxy of Stars quiltalong; the second is my weekly assignment for the irish chain quiltalong.

irish chain twist quiltalong sewing

I finished this week's assignment for the irish chain twist quiltalong.  It's great to have the quilt making broken up into small segments to do each week!!!  I'm making a veterans quilt with this.  My guild donates quilts every year to veterans at our veterans home.
