Hubbys Quilt finished

Finished my husbands quilt .. he loves it! I am so happy .. he asked for his favorite football teams and of course star wars .. i thought gee how the heck am i going to do that! well so i decided to use the pattern shortstacks for the front with all the football fabric.. if you haven't made this quilt it is amazingly simple and it only takes like 14 fqs ... i used yardage but it was still sooo simple .. i made his a lil larger as he is so tall. I made it reversible with the star wars on the backing.. here are the pictures

One block wonder

I have been looking at quilts online and decided i'd give the one block wonder a try.. without the book , i decided i could research and figure it out on my own so here goes ..it has really been a great experience so far .. they are so much fun! It's so exciting to cut and see what comes out in each block.

Ok .. here we are .. i've worked most of the day on these things .. not sure how it will come out and i think ill be crazy before i figure out the correct way but this is what i have so far ..

Lesson to my self .. next time don't use light fabric ... live and learn its very pretty and very feminine but its very light too ... going to add some pinks to it that are in the same fabric grouping. I have also purchased some border fabrics to go with it that will make it really stand out. Another lesson learned.. only sew your triangles into threes and then PIN your hexagon together .. i am now frogging a million blocks.. Ugh not my favorite thing to do !
