I Love Productive Weeks!

Well, first - do you ever have days where you couldn't sew in a straight line if your life depended on it?  That was me yesterday.  I don't know what my deal was - I was just trying to outline each of the blocks on my quilt, and I'm pretty sure the quilt was mocking me, because I was doing such a poor job.  If I had gotten pulled over - I would have failed the line test and I don't even drink!
Meanwhile, I'm in the middle of quilting this guy and I've been doing a lot of micro-stippling and "normal" stippling.  I know - right after I say I'll never micro-stipple again I start using it of my own free will and choice.  It's just so useful in small spaces.  This block is my favorite so far (it's regular stippling):
 A look at it from the back:
The other exciting news is that I finished 2 quilts this week- Yippee!  I'm on a roll.
Full posts here and here.

    haha I'm pretty sure every day is a day I can't sew in a straight line! That is why I gave up trying to stitch in the ditch. Your quilts look lovely :)

    Umm, yes, I for sure have sloppy sewing days. Days I wanna sew, but just can't. All of your projects look awesome, but I love the star:D
