    Here's my quilt sashed... I didn't have enough purple so I alternated the purple and green, and used red for cornerstones instead.

    My board friend Givio made two of these blocks for me... the red with the snowman in the center, and one with the 5 sock monkeys!

    My quilting weekend includes catching up on this board! I haven't yet figured out how to access from my iPad and can't do it from work, so it always has to wait for a weekend and for too many of those, I've been out of town. I'm grateful for the extra day this weekend because it means time to do some baking, cook a special meal AND spend some time in my quilting room. Today is organization and planning. Hope to have some pictures by Sunday.

    Such pretty projects in the works! I have all the 16 patches put together and the slash squares sewn and pressed, I laid them out and arranged them last night and decided to do two more rows to make it longer so just completed the last of them:

    I'll post another pic after I get the slashes into blocks and everything arranged in their final layout.

    I like everyone's projects so far.

    Since the last VQA, I finished my 72 - 2 1/2" log cabin blocks. So I will sew the blocks together and finish the top. then I will finish quilting a UFO table runner. Then it is time to clear off my quilting machine and set up for working on quilting for practice. I need to sew a block to exchange and mail on Wednesday. In between all of these projects I will be washing and ironing my fabric for Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt.

    I recognize that folded corner block. I love the quilt. The sashing balances it nicely.

    MacyBaby, if you go out into Pinterest or whatever its called and put in "Arcadia" you'll see a lot of variations to this pattern. One that I really liked was made up with only black and white plus one other color. So many different versions of this quilt with choices of colors and how the colors are placed. Makes mine look plain as I'm just going with what the pattern calls for.

    Thankfully I like paper piecing or I'd never had started it. Have made so many errors on it but I'm plugging thru them all.

    Does pressing a top count? Check! Found a spot that needed to be taken out and re-stitched, where the fabric had rolled under and into the seam. Fixed that. Tomorrow I've been asked to take notes at a quilt guild budget meeting for someone who has to work. Well... it IS quilt RELATED!

    Thanks, Molly... that's actually a block called "Air Castle"... similar to the folded corner blocks. I found it on Quilter's Cache under the 12" blocks. I love that block.
