Moving right along

I have finished 8 of the 12 blocks for the Summer Sampler Series.  This has been a great challenge for me.  I am having to work differently than I usually do when creating a quilt.  I usually cut cut cut until I have an entire top cut out and then I sew and sew until it is complete.  Since we are given a block on 3 days of the week I have to cut a little, then sew a little.  It's working out fine though.

This is my block #5 called the Star.

Here's block #6, the Arkansas Traveler.

Block #7, the Six Pointed String Quilt.  I was afraid to trim this one down to 12.5" because I think it's jacked up.  It's not exactly square if you know what I mean, so I decided to leave it a little wider until the end of the series when I get ready to sew all the squares together.  This block was really fun for me to make.  I loved just grabbing some strips and sewing them together and see what I ended up with.  If my block is too jacked up to use I definitely won't mind making another one.

Block #8, called Lucky Pieces.  I just love the aqua and plum combination in this block.

Now I have to start thinking about what I will do to enlarge this quilt a little.  I think I'm going to make some extra squares and add to it along with added some sashing and corner stones.  We'll see though.
