Rows Are Sewn

I have all eight rows of mountain majesty blocks sewn together, finally. The reason it’s taken so long is I chose to unpick some seams so I could iron them the opposite way.  If I had remembered to do this while sewing the blocks, it would have been so much faster 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. Now the seams nest and it will make neater, flatter top, IMHO.  

I have finished the 29 light background friendship star blocks…..

……..and five of the 52 dark ones.

Last, here’s my design wall as it will be for the next 3 1/2 weeks while I’m gone to visit my Dad & stay in our cabin in the Posey, CA area by the Sequoia National Forrest. A few more scrap blocks have been completed for the RSC. I picked up a cowboy panel with the artwork of Hugh Cabot to make a fundraiser quilt for the Posey Area Fire Auxiliary. There is a lot of ranching in the Posey area so I think it should do well next fall. The scrap blocks are 6 1/2” so you can see the panel is big. Now to design the quilt….some ideas are percolating.

I will post while I’m gone if I have anything interesting.

Cheers, Cherie
