Here are my hearts for the week.

This top was quilted Friday and Saturday.   These blocks are the last of the kite one that I made too many of.

Lots of sewing

There has been lots of sewing here. More than normal.

These are the last of the kite blocks that I am using up. Love the layout.

I have started making the sugar bowl blocks that Bonnie Hunter recently provided a tutorial.  Very cute.

I am still trying to reduce the 2 1/2 inch strip bin. These are new blocks that are fun and easy. I hate to admit it but the level of strips never seams to go down.

Scrappy trips with additional sashing. I added the outside border. The blocks also use 2 1/2 inch strips.

It is ready for quilting along with a bazillion other tops.

Tops are born

I sewed these two tops this week, one after work for two days. I will add a border on the one with strong blocks. Big surprise, I still have about twenty blocks left. So I'll dream up another version. Enjoy!

Busy Weekend

This weeks hearts, much better than last week.

Kitty pictures.

This is the progress on my kite blocks. As usual I've made too many blocks, enough for at least one more quilt top.

My blocks told me...

That they wanted to be set with snow ball blocks. So I listened and here is the start of that conversation.

Trim, trim and trim

Today I finished sewing and trimming my kite blocks. I had so much fun with the last batch, I had to do another with a different layout. Last time I sewed them together with the fat ends together. This time I will sew them with fat ends out. The last picture shows how I will sew these.
