Slow Progress

Another Monday

I know it seems like Smith Mountain Morning has gone on forever (after three years I guess you could say it has), but being my One Monthly Goal, I aim to stay focused.

Smith Mountain Morning
Sunday I stitched up three cornerstone blocks and one of the blue star blocks, just so I could show a different photo.

Shrunken Muslin
I used one set of the shrunken star points to see if I still had enough seam allowance (I did) and how they would behave with further ironing (I used a lower heat setting). I think I'm going to go ahead and use the shrunken points; I made too many of them to consider remaking those units. This quilt won't be going to any shows!

Today I will make the final two sizes of blue cornerstone logs and all the pieces/parts will be ready to assemble at the Nuts & Bolts Retreat next week.

Heading out in a few minutes to deliver some charity quilt tops to my former guild.

Linking up at Patchwork Times for Design Wall Monday.

  1. I love two-block quilts - there's just a special magic when they're combined. I'm glad your star points worked - that would have been a major pain in the butt to do over!

  2. It seems that you are focused on Smith Mountain. I agree on using what you have done. None of my quilts are destined for judged quilt shows although I do plan on showing the "Wedding Quilt" at the Krotz Spings quilt show in July.

  4. Blues and browns play so nicely together. This is going to be a beautiful quilt. I'm glad you can use your star points.
