Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers out there!
I don't know how it could have been a better day! I played golf this morning and shot a pretty good score. When I got home, I sat down at my sewing machine and went to work. I sewed the binding to two quilts, cut lots and lots of 1" strips and started "Small Steps", a heirloom courthouse steps quilt created by Jo Morton. Here is my first six blocks, all of which are 5" square. I only need to make 138 more!
I also cut and pressed 160 HST for a quilt along over at Aunt Reen's Place! I am using "Punctuation" layer cake (another stash buster!)
And best of all, I watched Tiger kick Cry Baby Sergio's butt! I hope that your mother's day was as good as mine!!
Sounds like you had a great Mother's Day. I must try to make some of those blocks.
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy day! And your courthouse steps blocks are great--they'll make a beautiful quilt in just . . . oh, six months or so! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYour little Courthouse Steps blocks are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI always love your fabric choices. This is going to be another beautiful quilt!
I like your fabrics for the Mystery quilt too!
I love the look of the courthouse steps! That will make an awesome heirloom! Can't wait to see it finished
ReplyDeleteYou accomplished quite a bit for the day! Those scrappy Court House Steps are great looking. The Punctuation fabric looks cheery and fun... a perfect summer quilt!
ReplyDeleteLooking good Sandy
