Sewing on two................

There was a large pile to press yesterday, including these 4 Marcia Derse fabrics for the last 2 blocks.  I will get them cut today.  I also pressed all of the finished blocks that were in the test layout yesterday.

I pressed the 14 stratas from the day before and got them cut into 2 columns.  Later in the afternoon I sewed them into blocks, so they are ready to press now.

I had 2 hours of TV to watch and nothing set up to sew, so I grabbed a box of Marcia Derse fabric scraps and started making crazy pieced blocks.

I got 2 blocks to the final stage by the time the news came on.

Both of these blocks will be able to be trimmed to 8.5".  I kept the tablerunner I made in January so I thought I should make another that I can gift to someone.  There is always the possibility I will want to keep this one too.

I check all of my cacti every day, and even though this one has been checked once or twice a day, it surprised me with a bloom close to the edge of the pot on the side that faces the window.  Not only that, but there is another bud too, also on that side.  This is the orange one although it may look like red in the low light.
