Progress and a mile stone

Can't believe it's been more than a week since my last post. I don't have too much to show, but I have made a little progress on the flannel star quilt:



The sashing and cornerstones are all sewn, and I have started piecing the border.

Not really sure how this border is going to turn out, but I'm an optimist :o)

I have reached the 50 block milestone on my DJ - counting the three blocks of this week, my tally is now 51:

Stars

Wow, two posts in one day! Perhaps writing a post saying I'm not sewing is just the thing to get me sewing? Anyway, I finished the last 10 stars for my flannel quilt tonight, and thought I'd share:



Now I just have to finally decide how to set them! At the moment I'm thinking of keeping the layout I have now, and do a narrow sashing and corner stones. And I want to do some sort of pieced border since I don't have any large cuts of flannel... I need to sleep on it ;o)

This and that - a long post

Internet has been out/unstable over the last week, and I haven't been able to upload anything to this blog (grrrr!!!), or to reply to any of your comment - please bare with me. Anyway, here you have everything I had planned to share since my last post in a loooong one (I'll try keeping it short).

I promised to share what Lise and I were working on last week and this is it:

If you are a follower of May Britt's blog, you might have seen a picture of it already :o) We had lots of fun playing with blocks from all over blogland (and from some no-bloggers):

We pieced the top, then Merete did some wonderful long-arm quilting, and Lise finished the binding on Friday night.

When Butterfly visited a couple of weeks ago we had a little peek into my WISP cupboard:

And inspired by our talk I started piecing some blocks I cut well over a year ago in a frenzy of clearing out some flannels:

Back then I got to the cutting stage, but no further. I still have 10 more blocks cut ready to piece. I have a lot of flannel to finish it, but it's only smaller cuts, though, so it will come out scrappy. Hopefully I'll get back to them soon!

Remember I had a bit of a cutting session of Dear Jane blocks? I have done some piecing in the evenings, and my tally is now 37 blocks!!!



I have also done a bit more cutting, so I now have something to pick up when I have some time to relax in front of the tv, or take along when poping out to quilt guild meeting, visiting the parents or so on :o)

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
