day starts out like winter--cold and clear--and by afternoon turns to spring--sunny and warmer. the PA rodent never said anything about this...lol! real spring can't come soon enough...after a challenging week hoping the next is better. but i have been sewing...
more strip blocks in progress. i pulled all the solid 1.5" strips and cut more for them.
remains to be seen how many blocks i finally get but no fear, plenty more solids for more strips. i pulled out the shelf solids and culled small pieces and added them to the drawer. still plenty of room for more but at least not jammed anymore.
and it was inevitable, you probably know that. once i got my hands on the blue and white book i caved. actually went back to my traditional roots. the album block is one i've always been drawn to and it WAS on my someday list. lots of good blues on hand and plenty of muslin scraps too. already envisioning hand quilting this....
simply gotta do some household stuff this week and cardio cooking of course. it's a lazy day to do whatever comes to mind. already got in 2 hours of sewing. gave miss phoebe a clean and oiling as she has been working very hard. we both need to chill out!
Those album blocks look lovely. You are getting loads done.
ReplyDeleteI see why that pattern has been on your to do "someday" list. Why not now. You have the fabric and the drive, go for it.
ReplyDeleteThe album block is a great choice for a two color quilt.
ReplyDeleteAre you calling it album or chimney sweep? Either way, blue-and-white is a winner.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog. I don't know why your comments don't go to my email but I appreciate each one. Yes, I'm very blessed to have my grandchildren close by.
ReplyDeleteLook at all those luscious solids!
ReplyDeleteAnd I do love me a blue and white quilt. That is a favorite vintage block. It is on my bucket list--someday!!
Hope you and Miss Phoebe enjoyed chillin! :)
Oh I love the album block and perfect colours..........
