One more January Finish

Boy, January has flown by, hasn't it?

I had high hopes of getting a couple more quilts finished,

but two it is for the month.

This finish is the second

Friendship Star block wall hanging.

I appliqued 12 wool baskets and had planned

on making one large quilt,

but decided to make three smaller quilts instead.

Wall hanging #2:

The sashing and borders are the same as the first quilt...

The only difference is the wool baskets and flowers.

I've been practicing my fmq feathers.

The red border print is perfect because the feathers are quite hidden!

Hopefully soon I'll be able to bust them out into the open. 

:)

This will be given to a friend soon.

This year I decided to do something that is a bit

out of my norm.

I'm going to participate in the

Barbara Brackman Westering Women

Sew Along.

Once a month she will have a block to make, 

along with a history lesson of the women who traveled west,

walking, in the 19th century.

The blocks will be released at the end of each month.

And, YES...

I am using reproduction fabrics!

It's a line by Barbara Brackman that I've had for a while...

"Ladies Album"

"Independence Square"

The block for January is finished!

Please visit Patchwork Times to see other creations.

Onto February!

Happy Quilting!
