Pressed-open seams, HST and Anita Grossman Solomon

 Kept busy this weekend with miscellaneous activities:

• Took a Craftsy class with Anita Grossman Solomon - loved it! I think she may be my quilty soulmate. So many of her tips are things I'm doing already, she has ideas to make them even better
• Made lots of HST for the BFQ mystery
• Practiced the Anita's Arrowhead block, for this block I'm really loving the pressed-open seams (take a look at the blue and yellow picture below)

Cathedral stars next

Here's the center of my Cathedral Stars top. It was only later that I realized I hadn't included the setting triangles. Haven't even cut them yet.
But done is better than perfect, right? Even if it's only done this much so far, it's still better than this time last year. These blocks are over 2 years old, I believe.

Lovely things

Lots of fun, and here are some lovely things:

• a bag to hold bags for picking up doggie doo-doo
• a Japanese knot bag for DD
• Some 70 year old buttons with edelweiss on them
• some pretty quilt label text

Pics are below.
