I've been loving variety lately. Some days, like yesterday I worked on 5 different projects. I finished handpiecing this sunflower and I appliqued the centre onto it. It's not perfect but I did enjoy the process by the time I got to the end. I have more handpiecing planned :0) This block will become part of a small wallhanging once I figure the rest out.
I pieced the last star into my Patis star project. The top isn't finished as I want to put half hexagons in along the sides and add a border all around. The portable part of this project is now complete so I will be starting a new project with the quilt patis later this week. I simply must have some good handwork for the beach!
This is another new project. I bought a big piece of the blue floral a few years ago and it's been bothering me that its still sitting in a bin. The blocks are from the book "History Repeated". Right now I think I will use the blue floral for a zigzag setting but this may change:0) I need a lot of these blocks so there will be lots of time to think about it.
I was in the mood for these bright happy colors. It's summer - Yahoo!
Happy Quilting!!

Very interesting block from history repeated, I like the blue fabric with those blocks. Have fun at the beach.
I just did a zig zag setting with my little scrappy sixteen patches. I love the way it turned out. What cute blocks they look good with that blue fabric.
Each project is fantastic. Love the sunflower and the stars. It's amazing how different the blocks from History Repeated look using those bright cheerful summery fabrics. You had a fun day.
Sunflowers - definitely a summer project - how pretty! Your blue floral fabric is also a great summer choice. And I love the way the stars are growing.
We have a cold day but there is sun..must get out there :)
I work best with variety :) I feel so very bogged down and easily bored when I limit myself to just one project. These are all very nice ones.
That is my kind of day! Rotating through five projects is wonderful. Variety is the spice of life.
wonderful post and fun projects! I love love your sunflower - it turned out perfectly.
Your stars are sparkly and your color placement is soo good!
fun new blocks - great summer colors.
Your sunflower block looks mighty good to me!
My husband calls me the creative flea as I flit from one project to another. I can totally relate. You accomplished so much and I'll bet you never get bored! I love your fabric choices for the block from History Repeated. It will be a happy quilt!
Your Susan McCord quilt is stunning. I have loved that quilt for years but never thought of attempting it. I'm a chicken.
Love your doll quilts, both the one you made and received, wasn't that a fun swap?
Enjoy your sunny days!
Those definitely look like summery colors! I love those blocks but can never piece them very accurately.
Great projects!
That blue is perfect for those delightfully summery blocks. And yes, a handwork project is a must for time at the beach.
WOW! You have been busy and productive! Love the sunflower block and all those stars
Beautiful stars! All of them. The sunflower looks like so much work and it lays so nicely. The floral blocks are lovely.
OOO! I like them all.
