WIP Wednesday

The last of the Thanksgiving leftovers have been eaten and it's time to get back at the sewing.

These will be the last of my blocks for the Humility group of do.good stitches, because I'm letting go of a couple of groups to allow more time for other sewing commitments.

Simple friendship star blocks



this star block for Mary in the Mid Century Modern group was fun to do. Her quilt will be amazing
I included some of our Canadian chocolate : )



and because baby is due the end of the month, I thought I had better get busy making more feather blocks.  Now I have three.


My brain is trying to come up with some kind of a setting for these.  I am thinking five blocks kind of floating ? .........

    Love the feather blocks. Feathers are so calming. Can't wait to see how you decide to set them.

    Your feathers are magical. I'm using them in a quilt too, and I love the free floating idea

    Stars are and always have been always will be my favourite block. I LOVE this modern one with the long skinny rays! Is it your own design? Purdy's!! Love them, sold them to raise funds for our Quebec and France trips for several years. :-) Nice to meet you!

    Five feathers kind of floating in the way the feather does in the Forrest Gump movie? (It was a feather, right? Sometimes my memory is dodgy.)
    Or a brightly coloured bird shedding them! :)
    The block you made for Mary is amazing. I remember exclaiming wow a few times when I first saw it on Instagram.

    Oh my! Those stars are all sweet. Especially the block for Mary. Great fabric choices. And the feathers are so pretty, too. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with those.

    Those feathers are amazing. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be jealous of *all* the babies in your family ... they get the most beautiful presents!!
