Sunday sewing...............

Some of the pieced scraps from the orange basket got made into four 5.5" crazy pieced blocks.

They will go into this box of 5.5" batik squares.  I counted over 300 plain squares and about 30 pieced blocks.

I got a bunch of blocks made for the 'other 16 patch' quilt project made with Marcia Derse fabric and tried 2 layouts.  The blocks are horizontal in this layout.  I need to cut 6 or 8 more fabrics depending on which layout I choose.

I rotated the photo for a vertical block layout.  I will probably leave some future blocks as 2 halves so the rows can be staggered for whichever layout I choose.

I then continued on piecing the rest of the strips into this larger unit.  Now I need to press these and cut two 5" columns from each.

I was looking out the west picture window to check on the rain and I saw there is a Sedum growing.  The ones in my front garden still have leaves packed around them so I haven't checked them yet.  There is also a Dandelion growing there and what looks like the grass that has little garlic roots (and turns into star flowers later).

I brought in my rain gauge so it won't freeze and we had a half inch of rain by 7 p.m.  It continued to rain and changed over to snow at 11 p.m.
