My fabric from Marshall Dry Goods came today, so I could finish the backing and get Joseph and Jocelyn's quilt loaded. The backing is on the right; the other piece is -- maybe -- for a backing for a quilt I have planned for a nephew and niece. I always try to get enough to receive free shipping.
Once the backing was finished, I loaded the quilt on my quilting frame and started quilting.
Fabric my daughter Hester found for me at the Goodwill. I think those narrow strips with the pinked edges are from a Moda Honey Bun. All of it feels like Moda.
Here is the label for the Constellation quilt. The precise date is not on it, since I'm stymied until more backing fabric arrives. It's on the way!
The central part of the Constellation quilt (yep, I changed the name) is done, and the newsprint all removed from those paper-pieced blocks. It's now big enough that it doesn't fit in that floor space anymore without being rumpled!
Nine blocks are done for the Star Crossed quilt. Seven more to go, then the sashing.
Today I put a block together and got the next one partially done. I erroneously thought these blocks would be quick! -- but that was before I counted how many pieces are in each block: 65.
Here are the first two blocks for the Star Crossed quilt. The blocks will measure 16", finished. There will be 4" sashing.
