Buckeye Beauty sets and Wedding Quilt

I did lots of sewing over the weekend and yesterday. I made 2 groups of 7 buckeye beauty sets. 6 of each group I'll send in for an exchange/swap I'm doing in July. I made an extra set to keep for me. A set is 2 4-patches and 2 half-square triangles. By sending the sets rather than a finished block, each quilter can put the sets together however she wants to. It makes for more flexibility. I'll do 2 more groups making a total of 4 groups of 6 (24 sets) for the swap. The photo shows an example of 2 sets.




In addition to these, I started a queen size (105" x 105") quilt that will be given to my son and his bride for their wedding this fall. So far I have 18 Ohio Star blocks (9" finished), 18 square in square blocks (4.5 finished) and 2 Indiana puzzle blocks (9" finished) completed. I need a total of 18 Indiana puzzle blocks so have a ways to go on completing them but all of the Ohio Star blocks are completed. This quilt needs 49 of the square in square blocks so the 18 I've completed are just a start but they go pretty quickly.

Below are photos of each type of block.
