FNS Results

I ended up working on my Postage Stamp Quilt. I have 6 - 17" blocks that have already been put together but I decided to make it a little bigger before adding the borders. One of my friends asked me how I was coming with this quilt while I was in Portland. Thanks Chanlady! You got me motivated to work on it again. I was running out of purples but had picked up some more last week so I was ready to go.
As you can see, I put together 5 sets of strips that I will get trimmed up and put into blocks soon. I also wanted to try my hand at doing Cathedral Windows. I'm working on a mini so I started with a 6 1/2" block, did my folding, put blocks together, and started adding the windows. Here is what I got done.

I'm going to try and get this mini finished up this next week.

Look at you go!! Love the purple postage stamp. It's wonderful!

I've been eyeing the cathedral windows lately too. They look awesome! You had a good FNSI!

You got ME motivated when you said that it was pretty easy to sew the strips together. Over the weekend
I put together one and a half blocks. Yes, they go together fairly easy and all pressed up look nice. I was concerned that they might get "wonky" You sew, girl and so will I! Chanlady
