It rained most of the day yesterday. I checked the rain gauge about 5 p.m. and it had 1.5" in it. I didn't empty it so I'll have a 2 day total including today's rain. We got 2.5" on Thursday after a month with less than an inch of rain. Three miles west of us got 4.25" on Thursday.
I turned on the iron and pressed Friday's blocks and the last 3 stratas. Then I made the 9 blocks from the stratas. I have 63 six inch 9 patches made now. If I use 60 of them and 60 of the two alternate fabrics I can make a quilt 60" x 72". I didn't end up looking for fabrics to pair with the last 5 strips that I showed yesterday.
I cut one more pink block and sewed the first two. I'm not sure what I'm making here. There may be more than one size block or maybe just 6 of these 14" blocks. I am making a small quilt.
I can't believe how fast September is speeding by. I need to get focused on what I want to finish this month.

pretty pinks! rain here today....
I woke up (way too early) to the sound of rain. Also to the sound of acorns plunking on the roof -- that's been a soundtrack for a couple of weeks. I like the pink bear paw blocks!
Sept is speeding by! We return home tomorrow and I’ve been making a mental list of what I’m going to focus on first. I am chomping at the bit to be sewing again. I am liking your pink blocks 😃
