Chimneys and Cornerstones and Some Progress

I'm going to show you the progress I made on my son's quilt first.  I'm actually really excited about it, and was surprised at what the block looks like when it is put together even with working on it as much as I have the last couple of days.

I hope all the rest of the blocks go together as well as this one did.  I did spend a little time picking which colors go where, and I'm hoping that I become a little more brave as I get further along with this one.  Blue isn't a color I work with a lot, and I have to say that I'm really enjoying it.  

Today's block, Chimneys and Cornerstones, is an 8-inch block and number 38 of 366.  I have never done a log cabin-type block before either, but this one was fun to do, and not as complicated as I thought it would be.  I did rotate where the colors are and some log cabin blocks seem to get so complicated with the color placement.  This is also such a stretch for me with the colors as I normally tend to be pretty subdued when it comes to color choices.  Tomorrow I'm going to try to get some quilting done.  We have a road trip ahead of us this weekend (just a day trip), and I love to put the binding on quilts in the car.  With everything we have going on this week that might be expecting a bit too much, but a person can always try.  And if there isn't a binding ready, there are always those hexagons that need some stitching.  

I'm linking today with Fabric Tuesday.  Thank you so much for stopping by!  Happy Stitching!!--Kristen

Design Wall Monday and Next Door Neighbor

The block for today is Next Door Neighbor and it is an 8-inch block.  When I first looked at it this morning I thought, no big deal and figured it wouldn't take long to piece it...

Best Friend

Today's block is called Best Friend, is a 14-inch block, and is number 36 of 366.

Sew Saturday

What a great day we had today.  I slept in, went for a run first thing this morning, and after a waffle breakfast we all spent the day working on our "hobbies."  I sewed and my son and husband worked on the pinewood derby cars, sorted football cards, and we all watched a movie.  What a fun day!  I love stay at home Saturdays.

Album

Somehow the day got away from me again.  I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to add tabs to my blog.  I still don't know if I've really figured it out, but with a little more work hopefully I will see progress.

Hand of Friendship and a Finished UFO

Wow has today been a good day.  I completed my block early, and I finished a quilt that has been a UFO for a long time! :)

Friendship Star

I had hoped to have more to show you, but unfortunately I lost track of time and it is so late now my eyes are having a hard time staying open.  Tomorrow is another day, and I should have a finished quilt.
