Gridster Bee Blocks: June & July

For June, Mary Schubert of Needled Mom requested a Confetti Star block designed by Amy Friend of During Quiet Time with four differently-colored stars and a low-volume or neutral solid background. You can see some of the other blocks on Mary's Instagram or the bee hashtag. 

Carol Gillen went with a patriotic theme for July, and chose a Patriotic Stars block by Sara Noda.

2017 Finish-A-Long Q2 Finishes

It's time to fess up...ahem...I mean, see how I've been doing on my Q2 finishes for the 2017 Finish-A-Long.

First, I need to take stock of what I had in mind several months back by checking out my original post.

I completed my Lonestar Pillow using the free pattern from Six White Horses.

I've pin basted and stitched some on-point lines with my walking foot on my Arrowhead Quilt from Amy Garro of 13 Spool's Tribal Block Club, but the project awaits detailed fillers. I've been inspired by some incredible borders designed by Jessica Gamez. 

Snowflake Shimmer from Yvonne Fuchs of Quilting Jetgirl's QAL is all wrapped up.

I've sewn together my spare parts from my Summer Breeze Quilt remnants, but I'm not sure what kind of blocks I want to add to the top.

I finished my April blocks for the Gridster Bee. I've also completed those for May, June, and July!

My Wonderland Quilt made with C+S's Wonderland collection is completed, except I might add some more quilting to the blocks.

All in all, I've been pretty productive, but there are plenty more UFOs where those came from. I also anticipate having a baby will deter progress.
