RANDOM THURSDAY

I've been working on some random blocks today.  Debbie asked for this block done in low volume.




I think this is my new favourite block. These fabrics were part of a low volume swap I was in last year.
They will come in handy.

I've managed a few more blocks in my Dancing Stars quilt along. I'm officially out of grey solid so production has come to a halt.




The letters I and J of my hexi-bets.  These are fun to do while watching T.V. in the evenings.



That's it for today.

    You've been making some nice progress! I love those dancing stars...maybe some day. =) The grey is very nice...I might have to consider that in a quilt. Thanks for sharing. Have a great week's end!

    I really love your low-volume block well done! When/if I have finished my hex on the beach quilt, I'm going to ask you where you got the pattern for the hexie alphabet. . .i think you posted it before. But it's a real winner, can you show scale next time, with a looney, feeling home sick ;)
