Hour Glass Challenge

   This week's Project Quilting's theme was "Hour Glass".  I ended up taking it literally and used the hour glass block.  Why I wanted to tackle something that has 6 seams that come together in a point in a one week challenge, don't ask me.  It's done and it has lots of flaws.

Inside Out Challenge

 This week's Project Quilting theme was Inside Out.  I struggled with this.  My literal brain couldn't get past having the inside of a quilt on the outside.  I eventually decided to use up some doilies that have been hanging out in my sewing room.  I left the batting exposed and that creates a who other problem on what to do with the binding.  I have never worked with doilies before.  I learned some things.  I also got done and feel the piece needs something else.  I will have to think on that.

I also learned that a low contrast piece is really difficult to photograph  on a cloudy February morning.  I went outside and this is the best I got.
