Friday Finish..yeah baby!

I finished my "Goodnight Irene" quilt from the QAL over at Terry's Treasures blog .  Since I used a few fat quarters I decided to finish most of them off on the back side. I think it works. Next I finished 2 more blocks from the Skill builder 2013 QAYG BOM. Yeah me!!!   Looks like I need some spray starch. :) So...let's see I think I have 4 more blocks to go then quilt them and sew them together. Too early to say the end is near but I am just happy with a couple more done.  Linking up with  Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish it up Friday!

WIP Wed and Goodnight Irene!

Yes it is Wednesday already and I am making some progress on my "Goodnight Irene" quilt top. Terry at  Terry's Treasures is hosting a sew-along for this quilt.    So here are my blocks that I am working on. I am having some trouble with the seams matching but overall the blocks are not too bad.    I decided to use some red, white and blue fat quarters I had on hand (you know ...use what you have instead of buying so much..haha). I am sashing it with navy kona. The random piecing is working well. Instead of cutting all the squares I stripped groups of 4 together and then cut and arranged. The 16 patches went quilt. The x blocks not so much! I also had trouble with 1/4" seams and scant. I need to be more careful and hopefully lesson was learned. I will see how loud I scream when I am putting the rows together. :) Also linking up with Lee at  Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday
