I did finish the Emerald Wave chevron quilt. Been trying to use up my left overs here and there. I have three dog/cat mats started and waiting t o get some thin batting for centers. I had extra blocks from the Chevron a nd took them apart and made hots pads which still need the binding to sew b y hand in the back of pads. Made a baby crib quilt with more left overs. D id have to buy a couple fabrics 1/2 yds. each, one has baby turtles. Going to give all these items to the Senior Centers craft show which is in Nov. Working on the Half Square Quilt from Missouri Star Quilt Co. You can see the tutorial by going there. My quilt has pink prints of 2 1/2 in strip s sewn together(remember after the first two strips are sewn together, then reverse each strip by sewing on the other end from where you started. Cut the background fabric into a block and then cut the sewn strips into the s ame size block; now sew around all 4 sides of the two blocks with fronts fa cing each other, then cut horizontally both ways. You get two different bl ocks. Start sewing the blocks together. I started with block 1, then 2 to make it as wide as you want. The 2nd row I reversed the order by sewing #2 first, then 1, then just continue this method until the quilt is as long as you need. Enjoy, Sandy$
