It was out this morning but quickly left. Horrible thunderstorms last night. It was hard to sleep with all the thunder and lightning. Cold, damp and dreary out. A good day to quilt.
I made a few things yesterday. The newest Barbara Brackman Civil War block and I redid block #1 of the Farmer's Wife quilt. Then I made block #2. I'm going to try and make 2 blocks a day. So later on I will work on #3 and #4.
I've been enjoying Victoria's blog " Bumble Beans" quite a bit lately. http://bumblebeansinc.blogspot.com/ Then I noticed she had another blog called "15 Minute Play" http://www.15minutesplay..com/ . She has inspired me. She takes bits and pieces of scrap fabric and makes a beautiful quilt block. So I started sewing my pieces together with the idea that I would be making a piece of fabric, cut it up and make a quilt block. However, once I got the bits and pieces sewn together I loved it just the way it was. I trimmed the block to 9 1/2". My husband really liked what I had done. So I went on to make another. I'm going to make a bunch for a quilt and put them together using sashing. These are pieces of fabric I would have normally thrown out.
