Slow and Steady

Where did the time go?  It escaped with the warm weather and the rain, apparently.

I started with stitch in the ditch for the Stained Glass Star quilt, then progressed to the setting triangles, then dithered over the stars themselves.  Since they were stitched on more than one machine, with multiple skill levels on the cutting (remember that pesky broken hand?), and with different hand abilities, some are a little, well, bubbly.  All will be well in the end, although there may be a lump here or there.

 16-patches are at the difficult stage of requiring pinning for any progress.  Right now, they are all stitched in pairs and pinned to make strips of 4.  Once I use up another bobbin of dark blue, I'll return to stitching these.

I chose and cut the fabrics for the remaining 18 churn dash blocks, but I imagine those will wait for next month.

I did plant garlic this week, and bake for a funeral and a birthday, and DH was gone for a few days, so this is good progress.  Maybe next week I'll have a quilt to show you!

P.S. The proper color for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is dark green, but I haven't any more of those to make, so I'm finishing projects.  If you want to be inspired by green, go here!
