24 blocks

I didn't get any new blocks made but I did mix the 9 new ones in with the other 15.  A few people without email links have asked about the size.  The blocks will finish at 8" so I will be working on this one for awhile.  If you missed the beginning of this quilt, here is the post where I showed the rulers I am using.  I can get 3 blocks out of 1 set of 2.5" strips and half of a set of 4.5" strips.
I think the next blocks need to be purple.  The lavender that I used looks like gray in this picture but in real life it is pretty. 

It was a beautiful day yesterday, just like they predicted with lower humidity.  Now we have storms back in the forecast for the next few days.

Looking good! We have had so much rain here that we are all getting sick of it. More rain last night...

It is looking beautiful on your design wall! 8 inch blocks are a nice size, but it does take longer to make a larger quilt, but worth the wait. It was beautiful here too yesterday. They say that pop up thunder showers are coming our way today.

This is stunning. I love watching the process. It gives me so many possibilities to think about. At some point, I might even break out of my usual mode! Thanks Wanda!

Very pretty! Personally I'm not getting much quilting done. I don't know where the time goes.
