I had a marathon cutting session for my flowering snowball quilt. I still need to do some more little squares for the centers but I’m just about ready to start sewing the blocks.

Yesterday I started work on a quilt that I hope will be a gift for a friend. I’m following the flowering snowball tutorial but I’ve ironed my seams the wrong direction in this first block. These are hand cut and require pinning so it’ll be a slow process but I think it’ll be a really cute quilt when it’s done.

I finally got brave enough to get my sashing done on the stash party pinwheel quilt. Of course there was a little glitch. The calculations for the corner triangles was off so the first ones I cut were too small. Boy, am I ever glad I always buy a little extra fabric! I found a tutorial on how to do the math for an on point quilt and realized someone left a strip of sashing out of the calculations- you have to account for it on *both* sides of the block, not just one. Oops! Anyway, that make a big difference in my corner triangles but thankfully I had more than enough extra fabric to cut new ones the right size. Now I need to go in search of border fabrics and decide if I want to leave this quilt square or do unequal borders to make it into a proper bed sized quilt.
