Happy Independence Day! We certainly have room to grow and change, but it is still a day to celebrate. I did a lot of cooking, took a nap, and didn’t get to my blogging very well at all today.
It feels quite celebratory to have the layout chosen and stacked up for the fox quilt. I will be cutting strips for in between, but I can sew the foxes into rows without that decision being made. I won’t have 8 to make full length quilt, but it will be plenty of years and washings before BJ outgrows this!
The Flying Stars are coming along swimmingly, with all the stars done and over half the flying geese. Eek! It won’t be long before I’ll be laying these out too.
I’ve also started back up on my hand pieced hexagons, and I snuck in this pink one before June was over. After this big one is done, I have a dark blue ready to enjoy.

Just love those cute little foxy faces! This is going to be a fabulous quilt, and I'm looking forward to seeing it with the strips added. No rush, work on it when you can, I know you have such a busy home life!

I also like that "ashes of roses" color in the star centers...lovely and vintage looking

The fox quilt is fabulous! I really need to get that pattern and make a lap quilt or at least a pillow top for my daughter! She loves foxes!
The rows of fox faces are wonderful! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished quilt!
Sounds like a lovely 4th of July, excitement is really over rated. Love the foxes. That's such a fun quilt. Looking forward to seeing your stars take shape. Happy stitching this weekend.
