Farm Girl Vintage chicken foot block + other quilt projects

 I finished another FGV block to hang on the clothesline in my sewing room.....
I have a lot of quilts in progress and here are photos of SOME of them....

 I am hand quilting the center rectangles of my string bean log cabin quilt........
I hope to have this done this week............

 Gudrun of GE Designs has a facebook group and this is the start of the quilt Another Part of Me.  I am using the stripology ruler on this project.

 I made some tubes of my Bobbins and Bits fabric strips and used my strip tube ruler and cut some blocks.  This was started on a day when I just wanted to sew strips and keep the petal down!

I bought Leanne's House BOM I think in 2007 and I have finally started on it.

Lots of projects......lots of fun!!

I will link with Connie at Freemotion by the River for Linky Tuesday............

Laurel Burch sun moon mini log cabin quilt

 I really like everything about this little quilt.....some of my favorite colors...
It is hanging on a pillar with a bright sewing area behind and the patio on beyond...
Also in the photo is the left side of the clothesline in my sewing room with my FGV blocks ....I have blogged about before...

 Here is a photo looking to the left where my strip tube ruler quilt is hanging...
We just got the brackets hung for the quilt rod and the clothesline several weeks ago....

 The back of the mini quilt...

 The front with flash....

Outside without flash.......

I have had these fabrics in a small bundle sitting in a basket for a lot of years.....
One day last week I decided I wanted to make a little project and finally opened the bundle!!
I used a muslin foundation for this project.....very fun and no measuring....
No ironing after sewing the strips.....I just laid the center down and estimated the strip length and sewed away....no need to iron in between...just finger press the strips open.  I learned this from studiojujuquilts on instagram.

Linking to crazy mom quilts finish it up Friday....

Farm Girl Vintage autumn star and baby chick blocks

 I put these on instagram over the past week and almost forgot to document here!
I still have to stitch the chick legs and eye....
I use my blog as a way of documenting my projects, etc....and hopefully inspires others!

These are both 6" blocks and wow.....that autumn star block was challenging!!
***Here is a really good tip.....spray the fabric before sewing with starch or Mary Ellen Best Press....

 Here is the layout using my alphabitties to mark the pieces before I sewed the baby chick.....

AND here are the pieces ready for the next block...baking day block.
Lots of photos on instagram for inspiration
....AND follow Lori Holt Bee in my Bonnet blog for the fun!
