It's been one of those weeks where there hasn't been much sewing machine time, so it's a good thing I enjoy different kinds of hand stitching, and have had some evening time to work on it! I did get started on stitching the plus blocks into larger blocks of 4 or 6. These will make the first two rows of that quilt.
I've also been hand quilting the little hexie flower quilt, with the two purple blocks and sashing and border left to do. The green yardage is for the binding - it is a Moda Bella Solid called Pistachio! This will most likely be my Sunday Slow Stitching this week because I'd really like to get it finished.
One task I did get done at the sewing machine was to piece the backing for my Full Stop quilt. Both pieces need pressing and then I hope to get the layers basted together this afternoon or tomorrow so I can begin quilting it next week.
Little bits of progress add up along the way!

Every little bit counts! Nice solid for your binding! I used the same colour to bind one of my RSC quilts this week.
I like all these scrappy projects. Your hexie flowers are looking great. I like the binding fabric.
Lovely projects, Diann! I really like how the plus blocks are offset one from another. The hexie flower quilt is so sweet and cheerful. Happy stitching!
Love all the happy and beautiful bright colours.
Love how you are moving everything along this week. It's so fun watching all the RSC projects come together near the finish line. Happy Stitching.
love that backing fabric! it will look great. I am so behind on RSC this month ;)
Pistachio is so pretty! I love your backing fabric for full stop. Looks like your stitching will keep you busy this weekend. :)
Indeed! Little steps really add up! All your projects are coming along nicely! I like the pistachio binding for your hexie flowers! Great choice! I’m struggling with backing lately. None are just perfect and that usually stops me. Full Stop is a difficult one, I think. You made a good choice there too!
Your little bit of sewing makes big progress!! I love that hexie flower piece, so sweet.
Love the plus blocks! Hope you can make good progress with your hand stitching this weekend. It's always motivating to be close to a finish.
Your project always make me happy! I love your color choices! I love the hexie flower quilt! It's so cheerful! The plus quilt is fun with the background fabric--it pops! Can't wait to see Full Stop done! Have a great weekend! PS, love the nuts and chocolate snack from "I Like"!!
Colorful projects this week, Diann!! Keep plugging away at them. Happy quilting!
not usually a fan of plus signs, I AM a fan of your plus signs quilt! so much scrappy color here!
You are do right, every little bit does help! Sadly I haven't had time for RSC these last few weeks, with looking after Robin after his knee OP just a little knitting. Hopefully, next week. Your pluses look great as you are stitching the rows together.
moving all projects forward is a good thing!
I just adore those little hexies. I'm trying to move along on some projects here and there, too.
The hexie quilt is so charming!
Wonderful progress! Love the adorable hexie quilt. And congratulations on getting the full stop top to the basting point. Great choice for the backing, I bought some of that too!
Happy stitching, Diann. You have beautiful projects for hand stitching/quilting. Love the multi color polk dots for the backing of Full Stop. Have a wonderful week.
You are still moving in the right direction so that is still a win win!
Beautiful projects. I love that pistachio! Looks like you are making great progress! Happy stitching!
I agree, even small progress adds up! All your projects are lovely, but I just LOVE those Hexie flowers.
Those are Great projects - super colorful and happy!
Oh, that binding fabric is perfect! So many nice projects!
Yep, little bits do add up. You're getting there!
Little bits of progress grow into finishes! Well done!
