Change of Plans

I had originally planned on working on my Sally Post Blocks as my March UFO.  However, I have so much going on right now that I need something to work on that I should be able to finish this month.

So my March UFO is now the 2016 Sugar Block Club BOM.

The blocks are 12" and there are a total of 12 blocks.  I am using a line by Robyn Pandolph.  One of my daughters said she really liked the fabrics so if it gets finished it will be a gift for her.


I finished another 2 blocks for Pat Sloan's Flower Bouquet Block of the week.  These finish at 12".

Just a note....the background fabrics are the same color.  But they look totally different depending on the time a day they are photographed.

This is the block for March for Pat Sloan's Out of the World BOM.  This block is 16" finished.  This month I need to make 4 identical blocks.  They will be the 4 corners of the quilt.


My ongoing projects that are keeping me busy are Dearest Boy, Sprouts BOM, and this month starts Sentimental Stitches "Cheddarback" BOM.  Needless to say that is why I am going for an easier UFO.

The weather is still very cold with occasional snow.  This gives me another excuse to stay in my sewing room.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you find something to your liking.

Woo Hoo

I finally did it.  I finally finished my March Sentimental Stitches BOM.  I got such wonderful ideas from everyone when I tried this block the first time.  I tried to paper piece the block but it didn't work out.  So what I did was draw a line bisecting the Y seam blocks and it worked.  I printed up the templates on freezer paper, cut out my pieces.  Any woo hoo....here it is.

It may not be perfect...but it is done.

I also got my April block done.

It sort of reminds me of a sunflower.

I told you in my last post how I lost and then found my Mojo...well then I came down with the flu.  Not too bad since I had gotten a flu shot.  But because of it I haven't got too much done.

Here's an update on my April Projects.

Well not getting as much done this month as last month.  But I did put too much on my To Do List.  I need to lighten the load.  Nice weather is coming and we will be going camping more often and I won't have as much time for quilting.  Until then I'm going to try and get some more projects done.  

Hope to have more to show you later in the week.

Thanks for stopping by.
