It's not perfect, but it's done!

Oh yes it is....and I'm proud.

 

This block was just a tiny bit difficult because I couldn't decide which method to use to piece it (stars are hand pieced) and I used vellum in the paper piecing parts. I normally use a newsprint like product to paper piece since my favorite material for this kind of work is no longer around. I ran out of my newsprint stuff so I had some vellum that I had bought at a quilt store sometime back and I decided I would use it up. Yuck...I really don't care for it at all. Even though I waited until the ink dried and then I set it with my iron, my fingers where black by the time I finished this block and I didn't even do that much pp. Also I think it's thicker somehow because this block turned out just a smidge small. Not small enough to do it over again, mind you!

Here's what my helper did while I slaved away at this block. Lazy girl, until it's bedtime and then she's all about being energetic!

 

Well I'm off to do some more quilt housekeeping. I'm going to put borders on my houses quilt and I also have to go get supplies for tomorrow. Think, hamburger, hot dogs, stuff for homemade ice cream...you get the picture. I'd invite all of you over for the festivities if I could. Wouldn't that be great! You'd have fun too...we live a block from the city lake and we get to see the fireworks display up close and personal!!! Have a wonderful Friday!
