Rainy Friday Night Fun

Cutting apart four patch blocks made from half-square triangles and rearranging to make a star pattern block.

This is one of the projects I set aside to work on at Friday Sew Days. Today, I finally finished sewing all of the HSTs into 4 patch blocks. For me, pressing and detailed cutting are best done at home away from all the chatter that results when we get together.

I spent this stormy Friday night doing exactly that. All of the blocks will be cut and flipped according to the pattern instructions. Here, I’m stacking them up on a design board. Everything will be ready to transport to the next Friday Sew Day.

Our guild meeting is next Friday, so it’ll be a couple of weeks before I attend Friday Sew Day again. Honestly, I’m likely to continue sewing in the interim so I can get the blocks done. It’s been fun to see the few blocks I’ve sewn together take shape. The completed top is going to be so pretty. The FMQ double loopy meander I plan to quilt will also complement the design. This particular quilt will actually be donated to a specific charity through my quilt guild.
