Sew Sunday

Over the past week and a half I've only spent about 2 hours in my sewing room. Most of that time was spent cutting, but I did make a little progress on my hugs & kisses quilt.  From this point on it should go fairly quickly.  I'm still hoping to get the top done before the end of the month for my A Lovely Year of Finishes goal.  Thankfully the Design Team at StampNation has the next week off so I should get to spend more time in my sewing room.

The colors in the picture are way off.  Sorry about that.  I decided to trim the block in a light aqua and add an extra row of X's & O's.   It will make the lap quilt a better size for me to snuggle under when I write up my blog posts.  

As I snowballed each corner of my 5" squares I sewed an additional line to the outside so that when I cut the excess triangles off I would get a small block.  My plan is to take all of these small blocks and use them in the border.

There are a lot of them!
