I made 4 more Two Lips blocks. Need to rootle in the stash for some pastels. Yoyos started but not finished. I did work on a UFO out of the closet.

Remember I said I was going to enjoy the process of quilting? This might be one process I'm not going to like. Hand piecing.

Perhaps I just need more practice. And I did work on a BTCT block. Here is #3--

Enough said, I've started Block #4!!!
I've had a handyman in my house the last week. Les is making a bathroom downstairs. Tomorrow I have a wall to paint. I hate painting. And its COLD here. Weatherman said -20F or more some of the week.
Keep warm everyone!

I've never tried hand-piecing, but I'd say your star block looks great.
My sewing projects have been on hold. I think it is time to set aside some time to work on them.
Having a bathroom downstairs will be worth painting a wall. It's not the painting I mind anyway, it's the prep work.
I took a quilting class with Wanda Dawson once that was all hand piecing....I think the only thing I did on the machine was attach the binding. Love that quilt but will never do another. Don't much care for hand applique either though I admire it when someone else does it. Same goes for counted cross stitch.
I love hand piecing, and your block looks great. We're just so used to being product oriented, and production oriented. Why are you hand piecing the blocks? Is that for BB Civil War quilt?
I loved BTCT, but didn't find it until too late. It's going to be gorgeous. You are, no doubt, your own worst critic.
Too cold!
there are ways that make hand piecing much more fun! I like English paper piecing myself....
