Ohio Star

Here is yet another block from the quilt shop hop 2011. We made such good progress on it this summer but sadly now its locked in a plastic storage bin waiting for time. We are falling slowly more and more behind on the quilt shop hops. However I feel that 2012 will be the year we catch up. 

A cartoon block

Part of the 20101 quilt shop hop fabric this year has cartoons. How cool is that? Do to busy work schedules we haven't been quilting much this fall. but that's all going to change. Every January we the three S's swear this is the year we finish all the the half finished projects and this year we will. Woot!

Spool

Spools woot, one of the S's really likes spools. she made this block as a test to see if she wanted to make a whole quilt out of it. I think she decided to add it to the maybe list. Will we see a whole quilt made out of this pattern here soon? Maybe we will wait and see. In the mean time here is another addition to the quilt shop hop quilt.We are making progress slowly but hey the turtle won the race right?

More Dresdens

This quilt has a lot of Dresden plate blocks some of them like this one below is a mini Dresden. Look at how small the individual pieces are. Next photo op we will have to picture the mini Dresden with a coin to give some perspective.  

Whirly Gig

As part of the quilt shop hop the whirly gigs enter the finished block pile. That's right we have enough finished blocks to call it a pile. Go us. These are a little wonky right now but trim them iron them and they will be a perfect addition to the quilt. We are still debating on how to set all the squares. The last quilt shop hop we set with stripes in between the squares.   

First of the Dresdens!

One of the Dresden Plate blocks in the shop hop 2011. I believe we have four or five. After quilting we might add a gawdy bright red or yellow button in the middle of the yoyo.

Spring blossom

This square was complicated little tiny squares weird curving center. But is done and cute. 

Here it is again -- after fixing the corners. :) Amazing how our brains "fix" things. I certainly didn't notice those two corners being kittywampus at first.

It's a Dot

It's a dot. Sadly I need a new camera so it's a fuzzy dot. One square closer to a finished quilt. 

worktable block

One more block done on the quilt shop hop. 78 or so to go.
