First finish of 4th quarter!

In amoungst the massive amount of sleeping I'm doing - and its a lot, even for me - I have managed to get the last 3 blocks made for the quilt top I had to finish.  Yay!  A finish!  I know, its not quilted or backed, but the shop only wanted it to be a top so that customers could nosey at the back...  eek!  Not sure I like that thought, but hey ho.






The last three blocks (middle left, bottom left and bottom right) were blocks made with my sizzix.  I rather like them!  Mind you, that drunkards path block was a pain in the ass to make.  The sizzix drunkard paths finish at 4" and I needed 3" so there was a fair bit of trimming needed to make a 12" block.  Its supposed to look like a star, but I'm not convinced...

Well, I've been stabbed like a pin cushion all morning and they still didnt get enough blood, but fortunately they didnt want to resort to the wrist cutting this time.  Bleugh...  Things I'm doing for beany....  I'm off to bed!

    Great finish...and I'm sure the back will be interesting to the customers....atleast you didn't have to baste it! I have a ruler that makes shapes like the middle left, but I never used it as I just use the straight edge!

    I think it looks like a star, but I agree they are a big pain to make. I love the mix of blocks!

    It is a lovely quilt top and too bad about the blood but I am glad they left your wrists alone.

    It does look like a star. I have avoided curves since the mod pod quilt!

    Oh, needle prodding, yet another of the joys of pregnancy - you're bringing it all back!
    Great quilt top, I really like the drunkards path star. And yes it does look like a star.
    I'm so pleased no one has to see the back of my quilt tops! Juliex

    Deffo looks like a star. Loving the Churn Dash/Shoo Fly blocks. Some of my favourite blocks those ones. Sorry to hear of the pin cushion effect, good to hear they didn't need to slash you!!

    God, wrist cutting!? That sounds horrific! Do they really do that if they can't get enough blood from you? I had that happen once when I was pregnant, but they just sent me away and told me to drink lots of fluids and come back another time. I was a pin cushion too whilst pregnant. I have negative blood type so I had lots of injections and antibody tests. The quilt top looks great. I like the fabrics. Yes the bottom right looks like a star in the middle!
