Half  Square Triangles - Quilt Top

Apprx. 61x61 inches.
 
Time consuming.  Time consuming.   Time consuming.

Making HST's could be thought of as a soothing encounter...

...however, that's not necessarily the case.

You've probably noticed that all of my seams aren't matched. HEADACHE #310!!!

The back seams.  I try to press each row in the same direction.
 
 
Oh well!!  Once quilted - it should really keep one warm.

Grass - Eating Chickens
 
 
Did you know that chickens love eating grass?

 
Two of my free - range hens paired-up for a Grass Hoot-Nanny today.
They forgot to notice that I was photographing them.

 
Not only do chickens scratch in the dirt for worms; but they enjoy the fresh greens and chlorophyll as well.

How To Stop His Snoring
 
I created this humorous quilt top, that could cause laughs, no matter how bad the day.

 
This is an Irish Chain quilt top with three borders.

The centers of the 9-patch blocks are black.

One of the borders is/are black.

"How To Stop His Snoring" is the secondary name of the fabric.

PINWHEELS - Quilt Top Blocks
 
 
These are 9 x 9 inches.

I've been making pinwheel blocks again.


Pinwheels are easy to make; the exception being that the centers might not always result in EXACT points.


 
Loving how this wonderful feather fabric correlates with the birds fabric. This combination was a last-minute, WOW thought.


 
Loving the Red, White and Blue -AMERICANA -Patriotic look.

Bear Paws and Nine Patch

Quilt Blocks

 
Turkey Red / Crimson and White.
 
Red and white with stars.
 
 
Making Bear's Paw blocks are not necessarily the easiest blocks to make; and are VERY time-consuming; however, I don't occasionally mind the challenge. 
 

 
Making 9 / Nine-Patch blocks are almost one of my favorites.
Getting a 100% seam-match isn't always easy, but, I don't mind ripping, sometimes.  Thanks to whomever invented the seam ripper.
