Autumn Mini Runner, and the Schoolhouse Mini Quilt

I've been sewing like a maniac lately, and have two finishes to show for it.  Here they are:

Schoolhouse Mini Quilt - foundation paper piecing of the schoolhouses, one inch borders with cornerstones, 2 inch blue border

Autumn Mini Runner with 1" paper pieced hexagons, blanket stitched (love the little stars from the topstitching)

Much more in the works...stay tuned!
