I did finish the Emerald Wave chevron quilt. Been trying to use up my
left overs here and there. I have three dog/cat mats started and waiting to
get some thin batting for centers. I had extra blocks from the Chevron and
took them apart and made hots pads which still need the binding to sew by
hand in the back of pads. Made a baby crib quilt with more left overs. Did
have to buy a couple fabrics 1/2 yds. each, one has baby turtles. Going to
give all these items to the Senior Centers craft show which is in Nov.
Working on the Half Square Quilt from Missouri Star Quilt Co. You can
see the tutorial by going there. My quilt has pink prints of 2 1/2 in strips
sewn together(remember after the first two strips are sewn together, then
reverse each strip by sewing on the other end from where you started. Cut
the background fabric into a block and then cut the sewn strips into the
same size block; now sew around all 4 sides of the two blocks with fronts
facing each other, then cut horizontally both ways. You get two different
blocks. Start sewing the blocks together. I started with block 1, then 2 to
make it as wide as you want. The 2nd row I reversed the order by sewing #2
first, then 1, then just continue this method until the quilt is as long as
you need.
Enjoy,

Sound like you enjoyed sewing all these things! I have started a few small
projects, but mostly taking up some of my clothes sine I lost a few lbs.
