Sewing away in Texas!

As I was working on a round for a Round Robin, I also worked on my 2" squares. They are addictive!


Have you heard of a Round Robin? It's a quilt that is made by a group of quilters and it's a variation of doing friendship blocks. To start, everyone makes a block for the center. The blocks are passed to someone else in the group. They add the first round. Then the next quilter adds the second. This continues until all the rounds are added. The quilter who made the center block then gets the quilt top back to keep and finish. These round robins are challenging. Well, two members dropped out of a round robin, so I volunteered to do a round for my friend. I made the round simple so it could "frame" the lovely birdhouse and vines. It will be on the way to the next person tomorrow.

Progress on Postage Stamp squares

Like I said, I'm showing the prgress on my Postage Stamp Quilt. So far, I have 86 squares in some form of sewing and an extra 11 squares ready to add. I cut out 400 extra squares to swap. Thanks, quilting friends, for swapping 50 2" squares with me! I could cut out more squares from my stash, but I think I'll wait until all thee squishies come in the mail. Won't this be like Christmas? I'm going to try not to have duplicates, but 1 or 2 might slip by; hope the quilt police won't check on me, lol. How is your progress doing? It might be a few days before I'm able to sew any more; gotta wait for the mail.....
