Yesterday was FNSI time hosted by Wendy I started early making my week seven blocks for the schoolgirl sampler sew along. I should take a photo of all the fabrics i drag out looking for the "perfect" one for each block. I end up surrounded by little piles. :)
Just in time for the next six to be made. :)
It was recommended to us to make up six half square triangles each week as well for one of the borders. It needs 92. I hadn't been but decided i'd better get a move on with them. I started cutting out a pile of squares then sewed them all until i ran out of squares & made a count. I had made 46 which is half of the amount need & 2 ahead of where i would have been if i'd been making the 6 a week. :)
After all that sewing & going out looking at a house as we have to move it was time for some relaxing hand sewing.
I worked on my Karma quilt.
I added the chocolate hexagons around the centre, added it to the row & then sewed the red row around.
Karma quilt so far. Then i made up more of the pale hexagons ready for the next row
and sewed a flower with them.
That was my day. Pop over here to find links to who joined in last night.
Happy Stitching,

Your schoolgirl sampler is coming along so beautifully. That's a lot of border HST's and I really like that idea of creating a few as you go.
I'm not a fan of making HST's... well it's not the making, it's the trimming after. Blurgh!
Have a fab weekend :)
lovely sewing... I do like your colours for Schoolgirl.... and well done getting so many of the HST's done...

That is what I call a good sewing day. Great results.
Your School Girl Sampler Blocks look great and what a good job doing sew may HST too.
Working on your Karma Project after a busy day seams perfect...
You got so much done!!
Good Luck with moving - that will seriously interfere with your sewing time!
Lots of sewing completed.... Goodluck finding a house.....
I love the chocolate with the red on the Karma quilt.
Both projects look wonderful. Nice job.
