Tri-Angler triangle quilt, Layer Cake progress, & Sew Kitschy

It's the end of the month and so I've been sewing like crazy to catch up with my sew alongs.

I just completed a special birthday gift for my fisherman (born on the 1906 San Francisco earthquake anniversary). 

Of course the moment I laid it out for a photograph, this little helper ran over and stretched out to claim it for herself (I guess she likes fishing too)!

It's made with kona cotton solids and some fabric with fish on it.  Finished size is 52 x 63".  I'm going to make a label and call it Tri-Angler!

This will be my entry in the final link up.  Stop by and see all the beautiful quilts there!

 (I will complete my bright spring colors triangle quilt later.)

I finished all of my layer cake sampler quilt blocks except numbers 19 and 20, which are due this week.  You can visit The Material Girl by clicking here.

Sew Kitschy Update

 

I've gotten a little better at paper piecing.  My teapot block for the Sew Kitschy turned out bigger and I didn't know why until I checked the pattern and realized that the blocks are supposed to be 10 1/2" (unfinished).  My others are 9 1/2" and so I'll have to add on some borders or maybe do them over.

Paper piecing is challenging, but rewarding when you get the pieces to line up and get a block completed!
