Remember someone saying they were going to avoid
furry woodland creatures and get some quilting done?
Well, this huge squirrel popped into my sewing room!
Combined with a necessary evil, (tidying up the block bank),
there are now 9 wheel chair quilt tops in my sewing room!
Who knew piecing orphan blocks together would be sew
addicting! Probably everyone! My goal for next month
will be to source some zippers for the back pockets and
get them all quilted up!
So on with the top show!
First I pulled down the block bank. It is full and heavy.
Did a little sorting and made a huge mess
but still had room to layout just one.
Have you heard of the potato chip blocks?
This acted the same and
I just couldn't stop. I used some like colors,
and groups of blocks that seemed to meld.
Here is number 1:
