My last square




The top picture is the last of my ten squares. I still have the friendship circle one to finish...


This one I kind of made up, so I'm not sure if there's a pattern out there for it or not... It looks like the basket weave one I was going to do, only different. If there isn't, what should I call this block?? =)

I also took a picture of the friendship circle so you could see what's happening in the middle =(

Stars and Stripes



I'm amazed I got this one finished. The third block gave me so much trouble I wanted to scream! In fact, I did scream... and curse...

This one was tough because I had no pattern. I actually drew it in Electric Quilt and then printed out templates!

I am working on the signature star now, but won't be able to complete it until we move home, because I will need to print out our signatures for the center piece. So, when we move home, I'm going to need just your first name signature to scan into the computer. Claire wrote her name on the quilt block list, so I'm gonna scan that in.

I have one more of my own blocks to finish and then that F*#%ing Friendship Circle. I think that block hates me. I finished one full block, but now it's puckered in the middle... I'm gonna take it apart and see if it can be resolved.

Grandmother's Cross


Here's my second block. The nice thing is this one is machine pieced, the last one wasn't, because my sewing machine was jammed. I went through it with the manual and it's working fine now. So....moving along slowly!
