A very long Friday Night Sew-In!

I hope I wasn't breaking the rules because my Friday Night Sew In was actually a Friday Night Sew Out, as I joined a group of friends to sew the night away.
It was a fun idea to celebrate a birthday with a shared meal, plenty of chatter and a fair bit of sewing - some of us achieved more than others....
I wouldn't say my night was highly productive ('fair' would be a good description) but I did make headway on some projects :-)
I had hoped to finish this last red and white block before packing it away for a little rest....
Oops squares for the HST were cut too small and I didn't bring any more fabric with me :-(

It'll be a nice block when it's done.

--- serves me right for having a sew-out, not a sew-in.

Next I pulled out my Blessings Baskets (courtesy of Temecula Quilt Co) mini quilt. I had slowed down on this while I thought about which fabric to use for my setting triangles... everything I tried looked too washed out - but I am happy with this now. Just got a bit of quilting to do then it will be done!

Finishing size will be approx 16".

Lots of people have commented on the sashing..here is a closeup.

I've been making a few pinwheels lately, for various projects so I pinwheeled the rest of the night away.

My FNSI continued on Saturday (my time) as I joined Joanne on her FNSI (Friday night her time). Once again I enjoyed the combination of chatting while sewing. I replaced a couple of the cornerstones on my Blessings mini with better fabric matches and the pinwheel pile grew a little more.

And now it's evening and the tension is growing in the test match between the All Blacks and Ireland - might be time to put another log on the fire and concentrate on the game.
Happy creating every-one,
