I guess sunshine was on my mind yesterday when I chose a project to work on. It was a beautiful sunny day and I got some more garden cleanup done. Last night I pulled out the box of yellows and black and white scraps and continued making blocks for a project started in January this year. I haven't pressed and trimmed the blocks yet but I made 6 new blocks that will be 5" finished, one that will be 7.5" finished and one 10" finished. I already had 7 10" blocks and 1 5" block made. I will be adding a positive/negative pair of black and white prints with these blocks for the project. I have no idea how big a project it is gong to be at this point. I'll just play until I get tired of it.
Good morning Wanda - 10.30am here in the UK and another bright sunny day! I remember you starting these blocks and reminds me that I'd like to make another quilt top like I did before, but maybe less colours, like yours. I loved your red recent version. I managed to buy some trailing Fuchsia's last week so all planted and thriving. The garden will look a bit bare this year compared to past summers, but enough to put on a show. Back to my sewing and mask making. Oh, that reminds me - I did see your blank spaces of deleted photo's last week and wondered what was going on. Strange that some were not mask related!
I really like your Sunny blocks...so cheerful...I am making Courthouse blocks --29 so far--until i run out of strips...then I will decide how to set them for the bed quilt...sort of backward, but am on a "kick" with them..fun sewing... ~ ~ ~ waving under gray skies Julierose
I find myself drawn to certain colors these days - especially the mix of florals and shirtings and stripes. Glad we can play with what makes us happy. I love the style blocks you are making - pure fun.
Your blocks are full of sunshine and what glorious fabrics to play with.
I've always wondered where your commenters live that have already commented by the time I wake up in in the morning. Knowing now Lesley Gilbert lives on the U.K. explains that. I peak at your blog first thing in the morning, but get my walk and eat breakfast before I comment. And most times my daily chores get in the way of getting back to my iPad again, till afternoon.
