WIP #2 Piecing Progress

This past week, in spite of the big football games and DH's 70th(!) birthday, I have been a piecing fool. So let's recap:

In Progress: String Blocks quilt top is finished and sandwiched with fleece for a cuddle quilt donation. the piano key border is from my collection of strip scraps.

The Yellow Busy Bee quilt is about halfway through the triangle blocks, actually Step 6 of 12 on the directions.  I need to buy more Thangles to continue. That should be done this week. I should probably try the online HST papers but I tend to stick with what I start with on a project.

The PURE charm squares quilt has been assembled. I have tried different layouts for the Disappearing Nine Patch blocks (D9P).  First I tried this:

This is the same layout as the strings quilt. Way too many seams to match here, so I tried this:

Finally, I did this layout and added the inner border. I can't say how much I LOVE this fabric!

 This is the fun of D9P. You can play around with the design according to what your fabric calls for. So now I need to add the outer border and decide how to finish it off. It is a small lap size now.

Finished: In the knitting department, I finished this double loop scarf. It is an easy knit, purl pattern by Rachel O'Donnell.  I am hooked on knitting these while watching TV. They will make nice gifts.

New Starts: None

That's it for my week. How has yours been? Today is link up day with Esther's Blog and Freshly Pieced. Go over there to see what others have been working on.
