Midweek Makers 285

Welcome to Midweek Makers - the place to share your quilt projects, in-progress or finished. Either way, we want to see!

My share this week is an in-progress project.

Yes, I've inadvertently gone down the path toward a patriotic wall hanging, though I certainly didn't intend to. I think the seed was planted last Tuesday, after decorating the house with my red, white and blue table runners and quilts. It was then that I realized that Fireworks is my lone patriotic wall hanging. Someday I'll have to fix that. 

A few days later, I started testing some new HST dies sent to me by Crafters Edge. Randomly pulling out navy blue and light aqua fabrics, I just started cutting three different sizes of triangles, making about a dozen HST's of each size. 

I played with a few different layouts, tucking some away for future development, as there wasn't enough fabric to finish them. Then it happened. I pulled out that blue star print and headed down the patriotic path. The first picture above is testing a layout, with the final top probably a bit different due to fabric constraints - again. Once I get it all worked out, I'll have a new wall hanging to share - stay tuned!

Though my project is in-progress, I'm showcasing some finishes seen at last week's party.

From I-Completely Without Makeup, this very refreshing hexie flower table runner,

Grace and Peace Quilting showed off her finished glam-clam quilt-along projects,

and Quilting Gail quilted different fills in this Paintbrush Studio panel - how cute is that?
