La Passacaglia Quilt: More Progress

I have more progress to share on my La Passacaglia quilt top that I'm working on using the designs in the awesome book Millefiori Quilts by Willyne Hammerstein.  I am down to the partial rounds that go around the edges, so I feel like I'm getting close.  But, I keep reminding myself that when I got started I was just going to play around with this technique.  I'll get there before I know it.

Blue & White Sampler - Six Inch Blocks

As I mentioned in my last post, I have moved on to making the 6 inch blocks for the Blue & White Sampler quilt I have in progress.  It's very familiar territory, making smaller blocks, after all that time working on the Farmer's Wife quilt blocks!  That quilt, by the way, is still awaiting my attention, currently in strips rolled up on the shelf.


This is the first eight of the 6 inch blocks; Pineapple, Hunter Star, Amish Star, Rising Star, Star Burst, Center Nine Patch, Ohio Star, and Christmas Star.
