Caught Up!
Yay! I finished the last four blocks of the Summer Sampler Series quilt along on flickr!
Block 9, Minnesota. I like this block--it went together pretty easily.
Week 3 blocks complete.
Week 4: Monday's block, Block 10, Evening Star. The corner pieces were a little small for the shape on the paper but I didn't realize it until I was far enough along that I didn't want to stop and fix it.
Wednesday's block, Block 11, Union Squares. The original block was a paper-pieced string block. I was tiring of paper piecing and very tired of strings. I looked through one of my books to find something I thought would suit me better. I'm not too sure about all that yellow, but the block itself I really like. I also managed to turn some of the half-square triangles the wrong direction and had to bust out my seam ripper.

Here are all 12 blocks finished! I also went back and fixed the one in the center row, second from the left, which I had pieced incorrectly. The blocks just ran straight up and down like lightning bolts, which, although it is a cool effect, it was really bugging me and it stood out too much.
Sashing and setting auditions are next!

I would love to see your work on SeamedUP - it's a new website for quilters (a la ravelry) and you're work would be SO appreciated there!
Thanks, Allison
