I've been working steadily on a number of projects, just not finishing them. I am making a best friends quilt. It is several borders around a panel of fabric that says best friends. I am using 6", 9" and 12" friendship stars as one of my borders. I have scattered them in the border and use background fabric to put them together. It's time consuming but very rewarding to see something I designed come together. My next step is to start putting the borders on my center.
I've also been working on a new quilt called Twister. You start by sewing 10" squares together and add a border. I used a layer cake and added 2 squares. Then you cut it apart using a special template. You cut one row at a time, twist it slightly and sew it back together. It comes out looking like pinwheels. There was a little bit of fabric leftover so I am now making smaller pinwheels to put in the border. This is all bias edges. It is amazing how quickly the pinwheels go together. I think it took longer to sew the squares than the pinwheels.
