Once again, Lori at Humble Quilts is hosting a QAL! She does a wonderful job with these and I really enjoy taking part. I have done two others with her this year, Abundance and Humility. This one is called Faithful. For this QAL, she said to start with any 6″ block. Then narrow borders were added followed by HSTs. Here is mine so far:

As you can see, my accuracy was a bit off with this one! That’s okay. This is a project for me! I also arranged my triangles differently. So far, mine looks completely different than hers. That is part of the fun! I found the small triangles left over from something else and was glad to be able to use them here. My version of recycling.

I love the name “Faithful.” It reminds me of a favorite verse:

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.

~ Lamentations 3:22-23

I missed the challenge for the Small Quilt Talk group for September completely. This month we are doing small Maple Leaf quilts. I wanted to start mine before the month got away from me again. Tonight I cut pieces.

I am only making four blocks and they will finish at 4.5″.

My big project for the day was getting this Quilt of Valor top finished and loaded into the frame.

It is late and dark so I could only take a photo of part of it. Now I need to decide how to quilt it.

I am thinking about another panto. Maybe this one:

Or maybe this one:

I really like this for a QOV and have yet to use it but I am not sure with this top. Seems too big.

I am also thinking about a custom job here. It would be a great quilt to practice continuous curves. While I ponder this dilemma, I will go back to working on my little quilts.

Since DH is gone and it has rained all weekend, I am getting lots of sewing done!
