15 Minute Challenge

I did pretty good this week I think there was only one day where I didn't sew.

I have started working on the Starburst Quilt from Kathy's book as well as nearly finished the hand quilting and I am hoping to have that finished by the weekend.  It has been humid here the last few days and the quilting is at a stage where I need the whole quilt on my lap to finish which isn't very comfortable so it has slowed up a pace, however it will be cooler today and I am hoping tonight will be better.


Can't believe it is the end of February already, I'll have a pattern release at the end of the month so pop back and have a look around Thursday.  It might be the only one for a while as I am taking a bit of a forced break while I am studying (passed my first subject so yeah me).

I have 6 of the starburst blocks cut out all except the outer edge, I think I will get the centres all done and then work out what to use to pull the blocks all together with the backgrounds.

I think it is going to end up being very yellow/orange in the end which is a big departure for me but I have decided this quilt is not going to be safe.

Down to the run down the week went like this:

Wednesday:  Coffee with the girls (no sew)
Thursday: quilting
Friday: quilting
Saturday: quilting
Sunday: starburst blocks cut out
Monday: quilting and more fabric came in the post and I cut out the blue block in the first photo.
Tuesday: quilting but not much because it was just too hot.

How'd you go this week.  Kate has a wrap of the month today.

Starburst looks amazing. All those points look perfect. I love the fabric combos.

Looks like you had a great week!

I love your starburst blocks. They are going to make a stunning quilt. Six days sewing is great in my book.

Beautiful blocks! I just started a quilt that will have a lot of orange in it. It'd definitely a color that's not in my comfort zone.

Great week. Hope your weather turns a corner soon and you get some milder days showing up.

Your starbursts are really pretty. The curvy edges look challenging.
