This is my current project. It's a hoopsisters quilt called Feathered Star and I'll be making 12 block a month for the whole year to finish a queen size quilt by the end of December. Or at least, that\s the challenge!!  I choose to do this one in satin as I had a bunch of different colors already in my stash (not like I don't have the same in cotton!!)  and discovered that I still didn't have enough to complete the whole project, so spent an additional $200.00 on fabric, picked up flannel for the backing as well, and $90.00 for the batting. Hope it turns out real nice!!
Here are a few pics of the other blocks I have done already. Todays project is to complete the star which is a total of 9 blocks.  However, like a dimwit, I deleted a block pattern on my machine and it deleted it completely so have to stop by the store and get the file replaced.  Then must remember to put it on the computer first so that I can replace it myself if I do the stupid again!

Now just have to make a menu plan for the next 2 weeks, meet my eldest of 4 for coffee, get the groceries, aquire the files again and I can put the laundry in and do some sewing =D  Sounds like a reasonable day!  The dishes and sweeping can wait.... right?
