Last night I was looking through the drawers in one of those plastic drawer units and I tried to think of what I had done all day. I know I did a little clean up on my main table in the basement and cut 2 pieces to the right length for a backing but I couldn't think of anything else. I had PT in the afternoon but that is just 3/4 hour.
So what did I find in the drawers? There were these 8 little pieced blocks 8.5" x 9.5". I could make mug rugs with them, but I have a pile of them already. Will they go back in the drawer?
I remember making this little piece, 8.5" square. I had made a lot of little 2.5" pieced squares and I used the majority in a quilt top. This was the leftover batch sewn together. It is a mix of batiks and Kaffe Fassett prints.
Last night the power went out twice. The first time I was in the middle of putting a new ink cartridge in my printer and luckily had a flashlight in my hand shining into the ink cartridge area. The power came back on rather quickly but I had to start over with the ink cartridge installation. The second time it was out for several minutes just as I was getting ready to eat supper. My laptop computer was on so the screen gave me enough light to get over to the counter where the flashlight is.
It was still 59 degrees last night at 10:30. We didn't get as much rain as areas east of us. Some of them got close to 2" which is the normal total of rain for January in Chicago. Now they are talking snow showers for Saturday morning, just normal weather for winter here, up and down.

The colors in your blocks are beautiful….any chance you’d be up for making one more for a small 3 x 3 baby quilt?
26 here this morning and everything is coated with frost...We are predicted to warm up, but not so far--that rain could turn to snow if the temps don't rise!!
I am still waffling about for another machine piece to make....???
hugs, julierose
It has been warm here and we are hoping for some rain today. Loosing power is no fun. I'm glad it returned quickly.
Love your colorful fabric discoveries as they could become the center of two very interesting quilts ... or not!
We've had 3 days in the 60s*F this week with 66*F today and rain this evening. Tomorrow's forecast is for 98% rain all day but it will be 66*F again.
Glad your power wasn't off for very long.
Hugs!
I could see the first group of blocks playing well with that second square . . . awesome seeds for a future scrappy batik/KF mix wall or baby quilt! It is late springtime warm here this morning (was windy and sharply cooler yesterday). The weather is going to shift over the weekend back to seasonal levels but I shall find time to sit outside and read today.
Your ‘fun finds’ makes for a good post today. You always give us a good ‘show and tell’.
your weather last night was almost the same as mine which was in the 60's at 11. Still warm today - I haven't accomplished anything today other than going one place to the next looking for a plant pot that I couldn't find the right size - broken pot shards will be used to fill in the bottom of the pot.
