What's Up 10.25.16

I have been so busy the past two days, that I have a variety of things to share. First of all whats up on the design wall. I'm making a crib size quilt and with the small jelly roll I had it was perfect for these 4 set of Seven Sisters. I have as I write this 2 of the 4 ready to put the sections together. The other 2. I have the units made as you can see but will be sewing them into sections.   There are 6 sections I also been sewing another section of the HST border for the Words to Live By  Had put this second for a few weeks now, plugging along.

Yesterdays Class

She did not know of any written instructions already, so during her free time while we were busy she was drafting up how we could use the same cuts we just made into a totally different pattern,  Seven Sisters. This pattern using the Sidekick ruler is meant to be sewn on the machine. There are no Y seams like when made with all diamond shapes. I'm using triangle in the back
