Quilt Along Blocks Week 7

Here are my blocks for week seven of Amy's Simple Sampler Quilt Along. I'm finding my technique for the half-square-triangles improving because my seams are lining up a lot better. I'm also not wrestling with them as much. Granted, I'm still not totally enjoying the process of making them, but I am getting better.



This week's blocks are called Dutch Windmills (green/white) and Practical Orchard (pink/blue).


And here they are all together...




Tomorrow I'm going to be bumbling on this all day:



It needs quilting and a simple blue binding. I've been wanting a spring/summery quilt for cuddling and I am finally getting time to do it. You may be able to tell in the background of this picture that it isn't my normal sewing room. I had to move my necessities downstairs into the guest bedroom until this suffocating heat passes. That little window unit upstairs is doing nothing for 100 degree temps!
