Focused and Finishing

I wasn't happy with my green blocks.  The green and the grey are just too close in color and tone so they don't pop like I envisioned.
So, I started over and made large flying geese blocks in twos. 
Then I arranged them every which way.  One nice thing about the design wall is I can look at it and live with it a bit before I commit! 
I sewed all the sections together on the central part of the quilt.
I could stop here because now I am caught up but....
I went ahead and cut out the Ohio star blocks and then made one to remember what all the piles are for!  I can sew a bit as I find the minutes throughout the week ahead. 
And then I did a lot of knitting.
I like this pattern and how the traveling twisted stitches look against the purl stitches and how it breaks up the stripes.
It was a nice day.

  1. I like the scale of your amended FG blocks much better -- good call! And what's not to love about any star block...

  4. Very clever idea to make up one block to remember what it's meant to look like! Love the green although I see your point about the grey background. Hope you've had a lovely weekend,

  5. I miss Daddio's design wall. I don't have space for one here so it's the floor or nothing and it's just not the same. All your blocks are gorgeous. Your quilt kit is making me twitch but I have 3 in boxes in the sewing room just gathering dust.
