Trying to finish projects with some Marti Michell Blocks

I have been trying to finish projects lately and I pulled one out that I have been thinking about. I could have sworn I had done all the blocks on this one but I guess I didn't. I have 3 blocks and some connecter blocks to finish. I did two of those blocks today. I really love the fabric on this and wish I had bought more of this when it was available. I enjoyed working on this BOM last year but was so busy, I didn't get to finish the whole quilt...I am going to finish this one now and get it off my list. Here's the two blocks I cut out and worked on today. These are Marti Michell blocks and go together so well. I used her templates on these and I love them because they are so precise. If you haven't used these before, you have got to try them.

Block 8 - Star of Fortune

Block 9 - Rosette

Jane said...: It will be lovely to get this one finished, the fabrics are beautiful. I've not been well this week and now the boys seem to have got it. Roll on next week when maybe, I will feel as if the sewing machine will behave for me!; July 5, 2010 at 10:36 PM
