In the Studio and in the Garden from Podunk Pretties

The blue and yellow leaders and enders project is moving along nicely now that I've changed gears from a leaders and enders to a get it done mode. Patience for the leaders and enders process is something I still need to work on.

However I'm still on board with the process. So while finishing up the blue and yellow leaders and enders I'm starting another. These containers of triangles for HST's are my leaders and enders for the blue leaders and enders.

~ A UFO Finish ~ from Podunk Pretties

The fabrics used in this Dresden block are scraps from various manufacturers. Some are quilt shop quality and some are not. The UFO consisted of the Dresden only, it still needed a background fabric. I pulled several different fabrics from ...
