Project updates

I've been managing to sew almost every day, even if only for a few minutes, and had a very productive quilters retreat this past weekend.  These photos were taken two weeks ago of various blocks made for different projects.

These are my Noon Light Block Lotto blocks for April, which I am lucky to have won, so will get another 30 blocks, very excited about this, especially as I have started to receive them.

These are my Rail Variation Block Lotto blocks for May.


A shot of various blocks decorating my flannel boards. Some pink blocks for May.  The green bordered blocks are a newish long-term project - last month I picked seven interesting yellow scraps and bordered them with green string scraps, this month I used nine pink centres, yellow first border, and green second border.  Next and following months will start the centre with a new colour and continue the pattern - aiming to get the blocks to between 6 and 8 inches.

These are the result of a workshop about a year ago - working with 3/4 and 1 inch strips, they are so cute, but very time consuming!  Some will end up like the 6-inch "bull's-eye" blocks above, but most will be 1.5"-inches.  Long way to go still!

 Preparing for the past weekend - all ready in piles to be sewn together.  I used Liberty prints for these fun mystery blocks.
