Another finish

I had a roll of 4" fabric strips given to me. What to do. Mmhhh.

Than I saw a Quilt on Jessica's Blog, and thought that could be it.

Even so her Quilt is done with 2 1/2" strips I thought 2" will do to.

So off I went and cut the 4" in half and than I had to figure out how to cut the rest.

I ended up with a 9" finished block

For the square in the middle I cut a 4 1/2" square

The white fabric I cut 1 1/2" wide and the color fabric 2" wide

I think it worked out great and the Quilt looks nice. 

For the back I used a real soft and snuggly fabric, almost like minky.

I hope my BIL will like it, I decided to give it to him. 

what I have been up to

I finished quilting the Baby Quilt. I still have to hand sew down the binding.
After that is done I show a picture. So you still have to give me a day or two.

Than I tried my hand on embroidering (took a class at the Quilt-university)

I finished a Dragonfly. But what to do with the Dragonfly?

Since I needed a B-day Gift I turned it in to a Post card.

 
Also made this little cosmetic bag with inside pockets.

The receiver of the B-day Gift enjoyed her gifts, so i was a happy Camper.

Today I decided to work on my Blocks from the underground rail road sampler.
Tessa a member from the popular patchwork forum started this one in 2010.
I think. Every month she posted a name of one block with the story to it.
We had to get a pattern for that block and sew it up for our self.
It was much fun.
But like so many things with me they end up in a box on the UFO shelf.
Well today this box came down and I started to work on it. yeahh.
here is a picture from the blocks on my design wall. My sewing room is
real small, so I could not get a good picture. But I hope you see enough to get a glance at the blocks.

and thats how far I got today. 

you all have a great Sunday.
