7 blocks sewn..........

I got the 7 final blocks made but I didn't get them up on the design wall.  I will have to get down on my hands and knees and pin the bottom blocks to the wall and then pin the new blocks to those blocks since there isn't any more design wall down there.  I changed the pink center on the top right block to blue and I'm much happier with it.
Here are the final three.  I hope I have made good choices and I should know today.  I intend to work the final 7 into the mix and start sewing the sections together.  Because there are the 2 big  block areas I will have to sew it in many sections.



 There is a little area about 12" wide between the sidewalk and the garage wall and it is full of volunteer Rose of Sharon bushes.  There are at least 3 colors in there.  I started out with 4 little starts for the white and light lavender and ended up with 4 colors and about 100 volunteers all over my yard and gardens.

Love all the new blocks (but the brown is not my favourite colour). Looking forward to seeing the completed flimsy. Have a great weekend sewing and hope it's not too hot for you :)

There is an item called a mechanics roller seat that allows you to sit and work on lower spaces. With the wheels you have mobility and just have to slightly lean down to do things that are lower. They are available on-line at various prices. Sitting between the upright legs and the tray part behind you gives you more stability.

I missed a couple of posts. I see that you opted for the expansion project to finish off your layout. Looking forward to seeing the quilt top come together, Wanda!
