did you guess? total number of scrappy 9 patch blocks sewn from the shoebox is 92! aren't they colorful? since they finish at 5" will need lots more so putting aside until more strips lead to more blocks. can always be donated if decide against going further.
here is the clear and EMPTY shoebox....looks great doesn't it? best of all, march challenge met and completed with a week to coast....
so thankful some prayers have been answered....more will be offered this week, waiting on a response and praying for His mercy. in the meantime, sewing will be a welcome diversion. still 2 wheelchair quilts to make, baste liberty road, more blue album blocks and UFO busting. yeah, that's easily a week's worth. still waiting patiently for spring to return for good...and if you hear me complaining about too hot this summer, thump me on the head will you?
Hooray for an emptied box and some relief for the crises that have beset you. Enjoy those chocolate chicks!
ReplyDeleteI've finally had the chance to sit at my PC and comment on your blog posts for March. My, you have been busy! Well done on emptying the shoe box of 2 inch strips. Sad that you weren't able to continue with the original Bonnie Hunter block, but the nine patches are still a good, colourful use of the fabrics. As you say, there are always more scraps that can be added to the project.
ReplyDeleteIt must be lovely to hear that your daughter has returned home.
Wishing you a happy and holy Easter, and enjoy those little chickies.
Lovely splashes of color in those 9-patch blocks. And an empty project box is always fun to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteYour chicks may not be as feathery as Chooky's, but they are cute AND yummy (but not gluten free--that was a hard thing to give up Lindt chocolate).
LOL. I'll keep that in mind about thumping you when you complain of the heat--and you may need to do the same for me. ;)
An empty bin of sewn up scraps is a great thing!
ReplyDeleteHope the blessings you are in need of work out.
Oh those frustrations with this small blocks sure was worth it.......
ReplyDeleteSo funny to see my babies there..... They have grown heaps.......
At least you can eat yours......
Autumn is definitely here now.....
