Taking inventory.............

I needed 8 more blocks for the postage stamp quilt so I decided I needed to take inventory and see if I had enough squares already cut.  I have enough solids cut for 10 blocks and enough print squares for 11 blocks so I may be able to just use what is already cut.  Since there are duplicates of lots of the print squares I may run out of the right variety to not use 2 of the same fabric in any block.  In that case I will cut a few more squares.

Here are the 7 most recent blocks that were finished making the total done at 55 (I need 63).




















Yesterday I got 5 of the 8 blocks needed sewn in one direction.  I won't press any of these until I get the next 3 to the same step.  Then it will be design wall time.  I'm hoping to have this quilt top sewn together by the end of the month.

It's got to feel good, being in the home stretch with this quilt Wanda. and with snow on the ground, a good time to get it done.

You are making great progress on the postage stamp blocks. Have you written about the process of how you sew the blocks together? Maybe I just don't remember that post. You must have a streamline method to be able to get as much done as you have.

I love that I can biggie size the photos and see all the wonderful palette of colors.

Just looking at all your tiny squares says long hours of stitching and more stitching. You're my hero Wanda ! Each block is fantastic . Looking forward to seeing them all together.
