Well it's been a very busy week.
All the units for the sew long were completed.
They managed to get stitched up during
the visits with family,
a bit of yard work,
some sewing workroom cleaning,
and a lazy, rainy afternoon with small visitors.
We had a dinner out with one offspring.
a golf tournament with another,
cat care for a third, and the lazy rainy day
with the last.
Looking back, it was quite productive week.
All the sew along units are done.
It turns out there are two blocks for this quilt, surprise!
Block A used the pinwheels,
and the blue peaky and spikes,
as well as a large stack of four patches!
A few sashing blocks were thrown in for good measure,
The small diagonal string units
finish up block A as cornerstones.
I did a lot of catching up over the past two weeks,
and some of the units I've been making,
went together nicely to create block B.
There were some small challenging pieced kite blocks,
and even more peaky and spikes.
The center feature block is a
commonly used scrapbuster block,
a small square surrounded by strips.
Put them all together with a
few inverted sashing blocks and
they spell anything but mother.
Whoops!
There's still a few pieces left.
A complicated pieced diamond rectangle,
four solid blue squares, hourglass units and and some two inch
strips of accent fabric. There are also some sashing
units and some diagonal squares.
I think a pieced border was mentioned
so unless I over-sewed a lot,
these should be the components to finish off the top.
In the midst of all that, I won spool chicken!
I managed to sew up my block and
still have a few inches left on my upper thread.
Tada!
I also got to experiment with a different layout
for those prize winning blocks from last week.
Very fun!
We even picked some early cherries.
Have a great week stitching!!
Stay safe and sew on.
