| chain piecing patches |
Instead, I made one hundred half square triangles in only two fabrics. Now what? Bear's Paw? Pinwheels? Broken dishes? I decided on 8 pointed stars.

| yes, my poor shamrock is reviving! |
Well, guess what? The top is DONE. No kidding! Of course the camera died, but here are the blocks. The points all matched up so well!! Perhaps I'll add a pretty border to this top. I have only done borders twice out of the 70+ quilts I've made. I guess I'm just not a border person.

| ready & waiting for some pretty stitches! |
I plan to either hand stitch this or free motion, but I will use pretty colored threads to embellish it. I think it's going to be so pretty. Done in a day! (Thank you to my children who just discovered a new card game.) I think this one will hang at the guild's bookstore display in the spring.
GASP... "spring"? Did I say that? I barely recall what spring feels like. It's been a cold cold dark & snowy winter. I think this quilt was necessary to perk me up. Though I didn't pow through that stash like I planned, this feels soooo good to have created. ; )
Stay warm,

smiled when I saw what you did-- I did the same thing yesterday!! I started out with the intention of sewing together some vintage quilt squares I'd acquired, but by the evening I'd made some pretty good progress on a totally different project! guess we're all just butterflies (or grasshoppers!)
i've always called that 'magpie thinking'! but i do believe i like butterflies better than magpies...what always astounds me is how productive you can be when that mood strikes! wonderful, isn't it?
cheers

Very pretty! I will look for it at the bookstore next spring.
