The How Far Will You Go? QAL is proving to be a challenge.
I completed the first block successfully but the 2nd and the 3rd blocks have caused me a few problems.
I don't have a picture of the 2nd block, which is a Weather vane block, but suffice it to say I have to re-do that block in hopes of better accuracy.
Today I have the 3rd block, which is a Pieced Star, which wasn't so bad, except for when I initially pieced my rectangles, I put the white corners on the wrong ends and cut them off, resulting in a not-star design! And not just once, but 3 times, as there are 3 of these blocks in the quilt.
So, that part of the block had to be re-done, and this time I paid close attention to what went where and they turned out much better.
Here they are, using Kate Spain Terrain and some Good Fortune (huh!).
Chatting about my crafts such as quilting, card making and other sewing crafts. Collecting fabric and vintage sheets and other goodies.

Sunday Stash
It's Sunday stash time again and this week my cup runneth over!
First, I have this nice little stack of Denyse Schmidt's prints that I received from my friend Fiona. She's purchased from my shop several times and this time she set up a special listing for me in her shop. Some of these are the prints that were only released in Australia, like the red Sweet Nut Gingham on top.
Next, some more Denyse Schmidt! I a few of the Flea Market Fancy Legacy prints in half yards from Hawthorne Threads. I am still awaiting my fat quarter bundle for this line, but there were a few prints that I knew I'd want a bit more than a FQ, and they have arrived first.
I've long admired the Ruby line by Bonnie & Camille for Moda, but for some reason never got around to buying any, until now. It's not anywhere near all the prints, but these 13 fat quarters are a start. These were only about $2 per fq at Handmade is Heartmade. Hopefully I'll be able to collect the rest before they become unavailable.
Since I really like Ruby, it's no surprise to me that I am drawn to Bonnie & Camille's new Vintage Modern line. I keep seeing that yardage will be available in May, but I could not resist this deeply discounted layer cake from Happy Valley Quilting. Such pretty prints.
And, while I was looking around Happy Valley Quilting, this layer cake of Good Fortune popped into my cart. I only have a few pieces of this line, so it is nice to have at least one piece of every print.
And finally a line that didn't grab my attention from the get go, but grew on me as I kept seeing it in my browsing. It's none other than California Girl by Moda. I was able to get the full fq bundle from Passionate Quilter for an awesomely good price. She has a couple of other bundles for different lines that may be worth checking out.
