Design Wall Monday

I think I need a weekend to recover from my weekend ;-)  


Our Weld County fair is coming close, and we decided that we had better get to finishing up the projects! A lot of progress was made!


I finally *really* finished my Carpenter Star Quilt. I tried to take some pictures to see the texture, that is really hard in the evening!!



And the back - I think I like it as much as the front!! Its crazy!!

One big project done was the quilting on Little Bit's quilt.
I say this every time - I don't like to share, but he did pretty well on the Long Arm.
He didn't need very much help at all.

Carpenter Star Quilting

A way long time ago.... Judy made a Carpenter Star quilt, and then she did some cool videos on ideas to quilt it .  And I was inspired!!


I also wanted to be able to have it completely done to show to you... but that was just a pipe dream!! I was almost finished, and then it was time to head out the door.... I just didn't get back to it...  maybe this afternoon.  ( we are heading out the door again!! Swim meet time!!)


The top border as I was starting.

The triangles


The crazy squares in the middle

The center star


And just another view - cuz I really like the textures that feathers make.

So pretend it is all done - okay? Okay! Thanks!!

PS. I do feel we got a lot done anyways - 
  • 3 shooting sport projects done, and ready to turn in today
  • A start on middle bits Fair quilt. It is all cut and 1/2 way sewn
  • Backing made and little bits fair quilt ready to quilt
  • Record books are all up to date
  • And I made dinner ;-)
Hope you all have a great Friday!
