WoNkY blOcKs

Here are all of the blocks laid out.   (Still need squaring up)   I can't stop moving them around trying to spread the colors out.   Two things I've realized ~ I'd like a bigger "design wall"; it's really the front of the cabinets where I keep all of my quilt supplies, and I need more/better lighting.... Oh well, maybe some day. I must admit, it's far better than being on the floor, for sure!

I'm thinking of adding some pieced blocks and or strip of colors. I made this wonky house to see what it would look like.... pretty cute?  
 And here are the pooches.  Waiting to go outside, and trying to behave.  They try their best to sit still, it's tough to get them both looking at the same time ~ just like kids!

Snow Day!

NO SCHOOL!!!

 

 We got snow!  Lots more still falling, I think were at 15 inches...  You can't tell since everything is covered, but there is one happy kiddo under all those clothes!

 One more block finished, I'm claiming to get geared up for snow removal.  But really, I'm just on a roll, and want to keep it going!   Can this one be my next favorite?  Well, I suppose they could all be...

 View of the back yard.  It's so pretty to look at~ but it sure looks heavy!

    The dogs don't even want to go outside in it!  LOL.

1 more, and my favorite so far...

Slow progress today.  Had to do some food shopping to get ready for another big snow storm we are having.  No lack of snow this year for the northeast, that's for sure!  I did white sashing around one of the blocks I made, so it finishes 15 1/2" square.  Not sure if that should be the final size yet, still thinking about that... Made another block today, too.  This one is my favorite yet.   No surprise to me, since I love all things pink.  I'm wondering now if I should keep  making the blocks random, or more monochromatic.  Only time will tell...

Four more blocks

Here are another 4 blocks I made today.   Working the next 5 out of 6 days, so I won't be able to work on it again until next week.

Hello?

Hey, if anyone is wondering if I'm still around... here goes another attempt at blogging.  New year, fresh start, I guess.  I don't have one particular reason for abandoning the blog, just a culmination of things.  Kids, work, sports, etc, blah, blah, blah.  I hadn't been crafting much either, so although I was still keeping up with lots of other's post, I didn't have very many interesting quilty or crafty things to say....

I did start another quilt.   I know it's one that this one will become a quilt before I finish all of the others...I just have a good feeling about it!   I have been accumulating Flea Market Fancy for a while, and I couldn't decide what exactly to make with it.  Looking on etsy and ebay, buying when the price was right, and I've decided not to let it accumulate dust any more, along with my machine!




I have five blocks made, four shown here, and this was the the most relaxing sewing I've done in a long time.  No stress, and so fun and easy.  The wonky log cabin blocks, found on lots of blogs around.  I'm going to sash them in white, and I'll keep showing my progress.  Promise.

  Happy 2011 to everyone!
