I started cutting and cutting, and got a few blocks sewn together.
This yellow print is my favorite one, so I had to make it first! It's the perfect sunny yellow.
The corner fabrics on the blocks is an adorable itty bitty strawberry fabric.
Everything is now cut out and I just need to piece the remaining blocks together!
I also started a Pow Wow quilt a few months back and have been slowly working on it. I finally got all 99 blocks sewn together. A suggestion on the pattern was as you are trimming off the corners, to sew the leftover triangles together to make half square triangles. I did that, and now have 396 half square triangles haha! A whole other quilt can be made now, I love that I didn't waste them.
And finally the Portland Modern Quilt Guild I am a member of is having a meetup this weekend! We were asked to make a tote bag for a swap, and here is what I made for that swap. The guild gave us each a big piece of Robert Kaufman chambray. It reminded me of summertime and picnics, so I made scrappy log cabin blocks and pieced them into a large tote bag. I can't wait for this weekend!
Linking up with Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday:

That will be a lovely quilt! I feel tempted to join in the quilt-along, as I have the On-a-Whim pattern!
I'm so sure this quilt will turn out beautifully! If I didn't have so many other WIP's I might like to do it too... Good work - and I like the yellow too!
Gorgeous! Tempting me. Love the bag. Just my colors. You are so productive.
Cheers on using the cutaway triangles! I'm on a mission about that. :-)
These are outstanding designs, I would love to putt on the wall of my house.

Ooooh, that is pretty! I shouldn't buy any more patterns until I at least -start- Swoon, though...
What a darling blog! You are so talented. I am glad we reconnected :)
Hi Heather! I am the lucky recipient of the tote you made for the swap! I just love it! I had to wait to pick it up at our guild meeting and then haven't had a chance to send you a thank you. Thank you so much for such a lovely tote!!
So beautiful work!
