Friday Night Sew-In

Last night was the Friday Night Sew-In and I thoroughly enjoyed spending the evening sewing. I finished the rest of the Strip Twist blocks made from the Moda "Nest" jelly roll. I promise you- even though the blocks used partial piecing to complete, they were super easy to make. Last night I was able to not only finish the blocks, but also laid them out on my design wall and then sewed them all together to complete the quilt top.




Isn't this a fun and cheery quilt? I love it! Tomorrow after Mass and breakfast out, I'll get it all pinned and prepared for quilting and hope to finish it tomorrow afternoon. Tonight is football night at our house, so no sewing tonight!

Strip Twistin'

I took 2 nights off from sewing as they were my son Anthony's last nights home. He left this morning to drive back to VA Tech. The house is soooooo quiet (and clean) when I got home from work today. Yogi is sulking...which he always does for a day or two after "his boy" goes back to college.
So, after picking up the junk in his room and changing his sheets and cleaning his bathroom (UGH), I got to hit the sewing room and sew up some blocks for the Strip Twist jelly roll quilt.




The blocks were really fun to make, even though they required partial seaming. Aren't these fabrics just soooooo fun?
