Some blocks were being made

Even though I didn't get much done on Saturday during our sew day, there were others that did get some blocks made....lol.  This first block is the Smith Mountain Morning star block for the quilt that is being called Bird Brain.  You can read more about that quilt on the Dec 9/2025 post, called Bird Brain....lol.

I like this block variation with the half square triangles (HST) in the centre.  I also like how she placed the top right hand corner HST to match the top blue point of the star and the bottom left hand corner that matches the bottom blue point.  It extends the blue and make the block look different.  This block is, I believe, going on the back of the quilt.  Gorgeous!

Then we had my mom who was also there at our Saturday sew day.  She managed to make the last twenty nine patch blocks that she needed for her blue string quilt.  Here is a sampling of nine of them.

The blue nine patch blocks are for her version of the Burgundy String quilt that I spoke about in an earlier post.  Here is the EQ design I made and printed up.  This is the same quilt that I am making, though mine is going to be done in burgundy.  This is also the same quilt that the person who is making the Bird Brain quilt is making, but hers will be blue, like my mom's.  

My mom is making her quilt for her bed, as the one she is currently using was made a long time ago and is starting to show signs of wear.  I am making mine for Quilts of Valor.

Take care everyone.  Have a great day!!
