This week I was supposed to be working on a secret project I started a while ago but I got sidetracked making a quilt using Cluck Cluck Sew's Pow Wow pattern.
I have wanted to make this quilt for some time and last week whilst rearranging some fabric I looked at my hoard of Marmalade fabrics by Bonnie & Camille and right then on the spot I decided to use some of it. Pow Wow was the perfect project.
The units went together very quickly.
And before I knew it I had a quilt top. It was super fast and I love the result.
I still have to put a small white border on and once I do the top will measure approx 68" x 55" which is a nice throw size but I am toying with adding a scrappy Marmalade border to increase the size. What do you think - leave it as is or add a border?
This quilt yielded 240 bonus HST's. I have assembled half into a mini chevron quilt top. The other half will be used in a future project (another mini quilt).
In other sewing news, I finished another paper pieced star to add to my collection.
I'm not loving this one but I think it will blend with the others so I will reserve my judgement.
And finally, I completed one more block of my super secret project - here's just a little sneak peek.
Until next time.

I love what you've done with the spare HSTs as well as the Pow Wow quilt. Bonnie and Camille fabrics look so fresh, don't they?
