Thanksgiving quilting marathon.

I have been sewing a marathon and I still have 2 more days to go. I have only the outer border on my cathedral stars quilt left to do and I have made 9 blocks. Both are Bonnie Hunter patterns. The first is on her web site, Quiltville.com and the blocks are a future book. I liked the blocks so much, I drafted a pattern of my own size. They finish at 6 inches. The 4 flying geese corners are paper pieced. I am using up my little scraps. It doesn't look like it when I look at the scrap box, but the trimming garbage can does. The nicest part is, most of the scraps were given to me.

Sewing with Bonnie Hunter

Here I am with Bonnie Hunter in front of my 3 classes'.

The first one was fantastic.  I learned some shortcuts that will make my life easier. I am so eager to finish all of them.

The second day was a bit more challenging.  More pieces means less done. That was ok. I picked out purple,  because the bin was ready and I didn't have to dig. Yellow seemed a good choice. I couldn't think of a third color right off. There was three oranges and I thought, "why not!".
After making one of each block combination,  I decided I didn't care for the combo. Too much like Halloween. Not my thing.  I am going to make this into a wall hanging. I do want to make one out of purple, yellow and aqua instead of orange. 

The last was called "Love Shack". I have a house quilt already so instead of house blocks,  I made stars and I will make an "Olivia" quilt,  which means that there is a "David" one on the back burner.

I think this will help me get my mojo back!
