Earlier this week I got the Stashbuster quilt to a top. I had hoped to work on it more but alas, life. My goal is to get it quilted before the end of the year. Right now it is 48x60... a good snuggle size.
Last night I got a little hand quilting in on the Book Club quilt while watching the movie Goonies. Love that movie! Block #6 has just a little quilting to go on it. The center part is done, time to move onto the four corners of this block later tonight.
Before I can do anything.... someone has a riding lesson this morning. We all need hair cuts - so that is right after lunch. The outside and inside of the house needs more Christmas decorations put up/out and I would like to rake and till the garden area today... so the chickens can peck in there a bit more before I attempt to plant something this winter. Not sure I'll get to the Grassy Creek Mystery until tomorrow.... or playing with my new Accuquilt Go! I have plans for the HST and square that came with the 8 inch die block set that came with it for one of next year's blocks. I 'might' have ordered the flowering snowball die for a Christmas present for me.... which is the block in the middle of the bottom row in this photo. A future hand piecing project for me =) I'm really hoping that by taking that rotary cutting part out it will go much quicker on the prep work side - so just marking the sewing line and stitching!

Your Stashbuster top looks great! I really like how you put the blocks together to create the inner design. A flowering snowball die for your Accuquilt sounds like a good idea. I recall those were a little tricky to cut by hand, but make such a beautiful block!
Your stashbuster quilt looks so cool! I like that layout!
Pretty Stashbuster quilt--hope you can get to play with your new Accuquilt cutter...

Really like the Stashbuster and your other blocks are so pretty! Have a great week-end!
Oh the book club hand quilting is coming along very nicely! Let us know how you like the Accuquilt Go!
That Stashbuster (Double Four Patch?) block sure is versatile. I like the layout you chose.
I love Flowering Snowballs. I made one a long time ago and pieced it all by machine. It is one of my fav quilts but I got carried away making blocks and ended up with a huge quilt that's even a little too big for our bed.
Thanks for the reminder about Grassy Creek. I didn't even check to see the clue yesterday!
One day at a time, it will all get done eventually - is my motto. ;^)
Love your Stash Buster quilt and the way you planned the lighter innards. Very nifty idea!
