Seeing double


This is my Dunks chilling as I talk to him about quilt designs

Cant you see him listening???




Anywho.....4 more daily blocks were made 

And one set is twins

I am thinking they wont show too much if far enough apart

We will see once the 30 are done

Was a beautiful weekend here
I masked up and bought shades for the screenroom

That way the grill will be ready and covered and the screenroom dining area will be ready too

Not a ton of sewing going on but a ton of getting ready for summer

What happening at your place?

Outta sight outta mind


I was scrambling for blues to make my daily blocks

Then got aggravated and decided to do a little straightening up

Hmmmm..... a tote.....whats in here?

A FAT QUARTER BUNDLE?????
WITH BLUES????

oh my. I hit the jackpot.



Look at all these pretties 


Now i can cut more block a day
AND some quarantine blues

Notes to self.........
Clean more often
Store in clear totes
Dont forget what you bought
Use it up,move it out

I am a happy girl
Its like Christmas and I didnt even have to be good!!!!

Two more blocks


Two more blocks for my couch quilt


And the prince and the pea

The minute we washed blankets and stacked them 
Someone decided it looked comfy.

Busy getting my screen room ready for summer

Hoping to sew later

Sweet sixteen


Another one a day block
Not sure if I  need to start worrying about light and dark blocks


This is most  of them side by side 
I like the secondary pattern of the corners 
But was worried if i could find the right light dark combinations to make it work


So pulled fab for sashing like in the pattern 
I like this too as it stretches the 30 blocks into the size i want i think


Ok ok for you perfectionists

Dunkin told me i had to move those darks around to balance better 

See? Even with sash i think i will have a light dark issue. Ugh

I am using what i have and until places open up it takes FOREVER to get a shipment

Remember these pocket quilts?

Yeah apr 18. Ordered crosses for middles 


Just came and they are WAY smaller than i wanted

Was these and then crosses about 2 inches 

Ugh
Will use them i guess but wish i could just go buy what I want already.

Halfway there


These are so addictive and easy

One a day and BOOM
before you know it
You have your quilt




Here are 15 blocks
Halfway to the finish

Then i am thinking 
Gray sashing
For my couch

We will see later how sashing looks 
For now just havin fun

What are you making?

Working 9 to 5


Trying to move some quilts to the flimsy stage around here

Chandelier is coming along nicely


This cleanup quilt is freeing up space 
In the string bin


This one is using up some old stash


This was just for fun but now hoping
It will soon reside on the couch


And these are waiting patiently
For crosses ordered online eeons ago.

Order online
It'll be fun they said
Its easy they said
You dont have to go out they said

Anyone else forget what they ordered because its been months and still hasn't arrived?

Grrrrr. Let me just go get what i need
And be done already.

These are quickly becoming a ufo

Because of snail mail

Is there anything slower than a snail?
Cause thats what this is.....
Grrrrr..mama bear is grumpy

Quarantine quilt


I decided to lay out my quarantine quilt to see what i need to pull for fabric next 

I am doing scrappy so the next 8 block set says blues
I am going to use some deeper shades I think


See that pink block next to Dunkins tail?
The next block goes on either side of those 2 pink blocks
I didnt lay the whole quilt out but just one side to see A how it looks. B see the size and C Try and determine my fabric pics for block 8
It involves lots of flying geese 
8 blocks of block 8
They will take a bit to make.

Stay tuned......
