Mom has finished all the work on her list and I’ve quilted 6 of 7 of her tops so after loading the last queen size top today for quilting next week … we both started playing.
First, Mom liked one of my Jelly Roll quilts so I pulled up the easy instructions from the web – Easy Jelly Roll Bento Box and we looked through my Jelly Rolls for one she liked and she started sewing.
After I had her set up up I debated what I should work on and decided I’d play with my Hunters Star die – Mom wants to try this one too but I knew I needed to figure it out before showing her how to use it.
Both quilts are going to be lap size, just 12 inch blocks set 3 x 4 with a border or two.
They both look fun!
Glad that you’re having a great time together!
Our guild has been making the Bento Box blocks for a future Quilt of Valor. It’s a fun one and I love the pretty colors your mom is using.
That Hunters Star is going to be so yummy with that Autumn Leaves border fabric!
Hunters Star is stunning. Hi to mom. Enjoy seeing what the two of you are up to.
I love hearing about you and Mom’s quilting retreats! So wonderful you share such a wonderful craft!
Love them both the color combos are great. The Hunters Star is drawing me to it both in color and pattern.
Hi Mary! I love that you two are playing. OMG – I adore those Hunter Star blocks. That is one of my favorite blocks, and the fabrics you chose is just stunning. Ooh-la-la! I’m going to have to get a die cutter just for the perfection of making the blocks. WOW! Have fun you two! ~smile~ Roseanne
I am not surprised your Mom has finished everything on her list. She is amazing! You both are and I love the way you work so well together. Both of those quilts are so nice but I especially like the hunters star. That is one I have wanted to do for a long time. Sure wish I had a die cutter to make it easier.
I like both of these projects. I’m enjoying my hunter’s star die too. I think my next one will be scrappy blues.
I have that Hunters Star die set and haven’t used it yet, so I’m eager to hear how you’re liking it. So far, so good! I like the bento box patter a lot, too. Must get my sewing for others out of the way so I can play, too!
