WIPs & a Review

...Spread kindness like confetti....

I saw this saying on a sign in Marshalls & love it. 

I'm hoping to remember to sign off each post with it. 

Well...after Quiltweek Syracuse, I was determined to feather a flimsie.

I have been decent at making the feathers for a long time (read years) but just never use them.

So, I just went for it...

I was shooting for a ginkgo look, which I didn't achieve, but I still like it. 

With all Christmas flimsies I've got, I have lots of feathering practice ahead. 

I had a few tension issues that I had trouble figuring out.

I had a pin stuck in my handle that was catching in the thread path. 

<<<<insert face palm>>>>

Once I removed it, all was right with the world. 

I also dicked around with a new QST tool I got at Quiltweek.

It's called the Whirlwind Whiz.

It does make accurate QSTs.

It's a lot of steps...and trimming. 

I made a few blocks from scraps. 

All but one were perfect.

VERY LITTLE FABRIC WASTE, which I love. 

I give it a B.

We traveled to Michigan this past weekend for a wedding.

I'll blog about that soon. 

Make it a good one!
