I've been so busy with Australian election stuff, I haven't had much time to do sewing. That said, I've had a couple of quilt tops hanging up for a while and hadn't had the time or energy to do anything about them.
Finished them just this week, so that's a nice fillip!

I called them "Teal Stars" but given our recent elections, that may not have a very good association with the recipients. They're going to my two oldest cousins, one of whom got married last year, the other who's been married for...oh, about 25 years.

Not sure what I'm going to work on yet - I'd really like to have at my scrap box, but there are so many other quilts that need completing right now! And I still have two quilts to bind, and six to give away!
The 'cousin quilts' in particular...this feels like it could be their year... Three tops down, six to go!
Tricky question about giveaway quilts: do I offer them to a bunch of guy friends from church? Or do I go looking for old friends who might like a quilt?
I think I'll make another postage stamp quilt. I have a couple of blocks and strips all ready for that.
Then I'd like to make a 'simple rectangle' scrap quilt - the 'lava flow' pattern from "Successful Scrap Quilts (from simple rectangles)", which has lots of excellent ideas and designs.
...maybe it isn't the cousin quilt year after all...
