This is the progress on my blue OBW.
And some of my favorite blocks so far.
I love how they all look different. In case you missed it, here is the original fabric.

Building Blocks Tuesday/Thursday Threads
I'm sitting here listening to the Red Wings Game, enthusiastically commented upon by Jack. We are winning currently, 2 to 1! I wish I could stay up for the rest of the game, but I'm sure I'll get a play by play when Jack comes to bed in a couple hours.

Pretty nifty, huh?

Design Wall Monday
Yes, I am participating in design wall Monday! Because I actually have a design wall now, in my sewing room.
Yesterday afternoon, I got tired of laying my stuff out on the floor, so I moved my bookshelves into the hallway (yes, I now trip over them every time I leave my sewing room) and opened a package of queen size quilt batting, and used pushpins to hold it to the wall. Lots of little tiny holes in the wall but that was a sacrifice I was willing to make in the name of creative genius.
Yes, that is my stars quilt. I have decided to make flying geese for the sashing. And next to it is my OBW quilt in progress.
And in the other room is my Stormy Path quilt, which means all my active WIP's are on display. I highly recommend this design wall thing, it makes life easier.
I now have no space to move about my sewing room, but it matters not.

One Block Wonder Quilt Along
Since I already had some fabric set aside for a one block wonder, I went ahead and cut it up to participate in Newbie Jen's One Block Wonder Quilt Along.
The most painful part of this whole process is lining up the fabric. I think I did better this time than the last time I attempted (quite successfully) this type of quilt.
There is some great advice over at Quilter in the Closet on how to choose the best fabric. She also had posts on cutting and stitching your blocks, and some quilting options. Check her blog archive, they are all listed in October.
