More company and more sewing this week

Bill's brother and his wife spent the weekend with us.  I haven't seen them in awhile and it was a good visit.  We went to Olive Garden for some great food.  I even brought some food home.

I have my Hunter's Star almost done.  I just need to quilt it now.  Maybe sometime this week it will get done.  I am sew proud of myself by getting 90% of the points to match.

Star points that match!  Yeah for me

Corner pinwheel with points matching.  Hip, Hip, Hooray!!

 

 

 

 

It really is a simple pattern but if you could have heard my cussin' about sewing 12 block wrong and then having to rip them out you would have thought that I was doing the most complicated blocks instead of half square triangles.  But, it's now done just waiting for the right time to quilt it.

Tomorrow I'm headed out shopping with the girls.  I don't need any fabric so I'm not sure if I will buy anything.  That's okay because after I use up some of my stash, I'm going on a shopping spree.

Catch y'all later...........

What happened????

The beginning of October the temps were in the 100s.  Today the high at 2 p.m. is 53.  Tell me winter is not here.  At least it will be back up to the upper 70s in a few more days.
I didn't go fabric shopping today.  I had a sinus headache (again) and I wasn't up to shopping.  So what have I been doing?...............  Making a small quilt.  The pattern is called Hunter's Star.  Since I have been trying to use what I have in my stash, I came up with this color combination.

Close up but a washed out look.  The rows are not sewn together yet

The HST (1/2 square triangles) and blocks to be sewn

I cut all of my pieces on my GO! cutter.  I'm getting a true 2 1/2" HST and true 4 1/2" blocks.  It didn't take very long to cut these out.  I think that I will not have enough fabric to do the borders.  I will most likely use plain black and the gold fabric that is in the quilt.  I have maybe only 1 or 2 points that don't line up perfectly.  Here's hoping that the rest go as easy as the start of this.
