Italian Tile - Wisconsin Quilt Blocks on Barns, Block of the Week

Just got my butt whooped by a 6.5" quilt block. Dang, only spent the last 4hrs on it. And it didnt turn out the way I wanted it too. Oh well.. Its not perfect, and nor am I!

WOW! Im grateful to have learned Y seams - actually, I enjoyed doing them. But my block didnt seem to show the affects of the enjoyment I had making this block. Cause honestly, it pissed me off in the end. LOL So, I got out my little seam ripper, and well, performed minor surgery in the middle. And.. dang it, I should have left it the way it was. Which is my own darn fault.

But, as they say - you always have to start somewhere, and the Y seams werent that hard to do.

Im almost embarassed to show the block... here it goes... it wont hurt my feelings if no one leaves a comment.. LOL

Stewie - One month (as of June 2) OLD!

This past Monday (Memorial Day) thru Wednesday, I went downstate to visit my family, and our new puppy, Stewie.

My niece Natalie was a "flower girl" in the Memorial Day parade. I wanted to see her partake in the ceremony & parade. So, I arrived down there just in time for the parade to start. We went to the cemetery to watch the Memorial ceremony. After, we stopped for lunch, and off we went to the pet store to get the goods, for this little guy.

Stewie was 4 weeks & one - two days old when these pictures were taken. He is growing like a weed!

Star Tile - Wisconsin Quilt Blocks on Barns, Block of the Week

As you can see there was alittle delay in the making of this block. I had gotten home around 5pm on Wednesday night, and I was in bed by 7pm. So, today was the first day I could actually sit down and work on it.

The middle gaps will disappear when I sew these blocks to another. (Thank goodness!)
