There weren't any big finishes this week, but I did make good progress on a couple of different projects. I seem to be working in multiples of four--I made four Folded Box blocks for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge project (see them in yesterday's post.) I also pulled out an old UFO, my pink and brown Shooting Stars, and made four more of those blocks.
On July 4th I was feeling the need to sew some red, white & blue. I discovered that Kat's July block drive for Covered in Love is asking for 12" finished star blocks, any pattern, made in red, white & blue. I spent some time looking through my quilting books and lots of on-line sources before I settled on these first few designs. I should go back and figure out the names of the blocks and find sources for the patterns--I'll try to put that info together later.
