Fiber fun.............


I made a couple more blocks yesterday after running some errands.  I have lots more short strips, the size in the small blocks, in the scrap bag so I'll continue making the small blocks in spare moments.  I'm thinking of a medallion style quilt at this point.






I searched through my oldest Kaffe fabrics and came up with two more light fabrics.  I have one more in the basement.  Now I need to find a few more dark fabrics and get them pressed and cut.  I haven't turned on an iron yet so I can't start sewing the pinwheel blocks yet.





While out running errands yesterday I found a miniature Chrysanthemum plant for $1.  I briefly considered buying 3 of them and replanting one of my porch pots.  Then I came to my senses and just bought one for my kitchen.

I love your little scrappy square blocks;)))
65 here--still warmish overnight these days...
I began a new little scroll and readied a table runner for some hand quilting...baby steps. hugs Julierose

Those scrappy blocks are so fun! The light leaf print is so pretty! That was a bargain for only $1.00! I hope it lasts a long time for you.

Such a fun array of your blocks and just stitching on them when you have a moment or two, each one has such a vibrant impact. ~ I know I’m going to love your blues and you haven’t even stitched on one yet. And to bring in a such a cheerful little mum plant just for your window sill… was a happy way to end your day .

Love those bright blocks! And the light/dark blues are gorgeous. I had the same “come to my senses” moment earlier today with baby mums for under $5 — despite the temptation, they are all still at the store.
