Whew -- I just blinked my eyes and almost a week has gone by! Keeping busy as usual: I finished assembling my Christmas stars top and it's ready for layering. Meanwhile, I've been doing some quick-and-easy strip piecing. I need another couch throw. Elvie's a nest-digger, and he's hard on the furniture :)
I'm continuing to make steady progress on my sampler blocks, too. I like the hand piecing more than I expected to. It's accurate, and surprisingly quick. The template cutting takes longer than piecing the block.
And I'm finally gearing up to start on Judy's lovely quilt-for-an-hour project, Morning Splash. I'm only two weeks behind -- better late than never!

3. Orion rising high over the poplars
