So, in order to get the Block Party display and handouts done for guild on Tuesday night, I e-mailed myself all five photos I'd taken of the block construction sets. For November I offered batik butterflies:
I love the block, but I'm not expecting to get a great many turned in on Tuesday. Applique blocks never seem as popular as pieced. So for December's block I chose the pieced Northwinds block, in either red or green:
It's 9" finished, so none of the pieces are small, but, honestly, I'm not expecting a blockbuster response to this one either because of all the half-square triangles.
Meantime, our house buyers dropped out because their loan ended up being declined. So we're back on the market! :/ Ah well, at least that means the house is pristine and being kept that way. And since the kitchen counter is clear, today I cut out pieces there for the Giant Geese block exchange (this is the final month). Oh my I love cutting at that counter height! Even better than at the dining table. I have made a mental note.
I have a hankering to be piecing, but I have three quilt tops that need to be turned into quilts first. So I have a plan:
- finish the geese blocks
- label, baste, quilt, and bind the autumn quilt
- piece and label the back for the next Ugly quilt
- piece and label the back for Niecelet's Christmas gift quilt
- piece Block Lotto blocks.
- acquire more batting
- quilt the Vintage Ugly
- quilt Niecelet's Christmas gift quilt
- feel free to proceed on whatever I want to sew next
Of course, you know what they say about plans....
