There was a lot of stitching this week partly because it was so bitter cold that I had little interest in getting out and going anywhere.
A few more of the red/white/blue Buckeye Beauties have been made. I have 58 of them so far. And there will be more needed for a Quilt of Valor. I have more cut and waiting to be sewn. So, it's an on-going project all month.
Pulling out the bin of the Travel Star parts and pieces revealed several blue squares. These are the squares shared at guild by members who travel. We share 6.5" blocks of fabric representing our destinations. I've made at least 3 quilts with those squares over the years but the bin is still pretty full. These blue Travel Star blocks used up 3 of those squares.
The focus was on the royal blues for a new Night Vision block. The bonus pinwheels are done too. I didn't count these blocks but I must be getting close to having enough for a child sized quilt.
Two of the Brighten blocks happened, one royal blue and the other in a pale baby blue.
The piano key border is done on 2 opposite sides of this scrappy project. This is the Make Your Point pattern, using 1.5" squares and 2/5" HSTs. So it was a great use of 16-patche units and pinwheels already made. I'll need to make a lot more of the "keys" before I can do the other 2 longer sides. I'm thinking of doing 4-patch blocks in the corners, or maybe pinwheels. Those little keys are good as Leaders/Enders.
A scrappy doll quilt was also finished this week. There was a whole bag of these 4-patch blocks, and now that bag is empty. Yay!!
No sewing is likely to happen this weekend, as a granddaughter is arriving Friday afternoon, and swimming in the State A swim meet just down the street. And this evening we're attending a Dualling Pianos show with friends that is a fundraiser for the local fire department in the small town we used to live in.
But I'm linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge . . .

Such pretty blocks! Love the piano key border you are making. Good luck to your granddaughter in her meet!
Look at that sweet doll quilt - love it! I bet Mr. Bear does, too. Your scrappy blocks are looking great, and so is the Make Your Point quilt. Such pretty color in that one! Have a fun weekend!
You were definitely productive this week. All your projects are looking good. Enjoy your weekend, hope it warms up for you.
