In Progress:
1) Starburst QAL:
I'm completely caught up with the Starburst QAL. I am really excited about this quilt! I am making the 76"x76" quilt, so my blocks are going to be 32". I did the smaller blocks in an assembly line, so they came together really fast. The only thing that slowed me down was trimming. Time DOES NOT fly when you are trimming HSTs!From cut fabric to HSTs, Goose in the Corners and Flying Geese:
I've been wanting to try the No Waste Flying Geese for a while now, so I am really glad Melissa chose that technique for this QAL. She wrote a great tutorial and you can find the link on the QAL page. It is magic!!!
I am thinking about changing the color combo of the first block. My original thought was to have a center star to represent each of the colors I had chosen (turquoise, pink, green, light blue). Now that I am looking at a picture, I am not sure I like having 1 warm star and 3 cool stars. I'll make a final decision after I layout the blocks.
2) Fat Quarter Shop Designer Block of the Month 2013
I am caught up with the Fat Quarter Shop 2012 Designer Mystery Block of the Month club. This is the eighth block, "Lime Sherbert." It was designed by Bonnie Olaveson and Camille Roskelley. I messed up on the Flying Geese last week, by not paying attention to the direction of the blue fabric. I fixed that problem...But I realized that in my concern about the Flying Geese, I forgot to pay attention to the direction on the HSTs! It doesn't bother me so much, so it stays!
3) Scrappy TAL
As mentioned yesterday, I am still in the quilting phase of the Scrappy TAL.
Finished:
A small finish, but a finish nonetheless! I finished my Triple Zip pouch for the Triple Zip Along with Debbie at A Quilter's Table. I'll be posting more about that later this week, after I take some pictures of it.
My other Work-In Progresses for the Quarter:
4) Looking Back - All pieces cut. I am picking this project back up in February
5) Swoon - All pieces cut. I am picking this project back up in February
6) Flower Girl Quilt - All pieces cut. I am picking this project back up in March.

Congrats on finishing your pouch, I just cut out my fabrics today.
Those project sheets are really keeping you on track. I like your HST centre!
I love your quilting choice for your scrappy trip along. It adds a lovely detail to the blocks.
I like your color choices for the Starburst quilt, but the light blue is looking a bit aqua on my screen... I did the same thing with my BOM and also left it that way:)
love the color scheme you have going on with the starburst quilt! i love your quilts :)
I used your Projects at a Glance sheet the other day. At first I wasn't sure I "needed" it, but it's actually really nice to see everything lined up and keep in mind the different projects I am thinking about. Given my relatively slow pace of sewing, I decided to make it a quarterly record instead of monthly. Thanks for putting it together!
Your Starbust is coming along nicely!! Way to get all caught up. Can't wait to see this all put together!!
You have chosen some really nice fabric for this project
Loving all the bright colours you've got going on in these projects :o)
I love the quilting you used for the scrappy trip along.
I love that stack of freshly cut fabric! So many beautiful colors. :)
your quilts are beautiful! I love your bright colours, and I love these quilt patterns too. I often get the direction of my hst mixed around. I don't think you notice unless your looking for it. The quilting on your scrappy trip a long is just right, well done!
