I am going to be watching Bella for the next seven days, so I won't have a bunch of time in the studio. I have been working hard to get all my blocks made for the various guild blocks I said I would make. This is my stack of 28 mock log cabin blocks for the guild bee. The only thing I have left is to start on the mystery quilt. I have not decided on fabric for that one yet.
Speaking of fabric, I decided I wanted to play this afternoon, so I made some fabric.
The second May BOM for 15 Minutes Play is a pinwheel block, and I decided to make my spokes blue. I started piecing scraps until I got enough to put an 11" x 11" block together. After I got this made, I thought I might like blue and orange spokes instead, so I made some orange fabric.
I cut the blocks to five inch squares, then sliced them diagonally to create the spokes.
Now, all I have to do is piece it all together. I do love working this way.
I hope everyone has been enjoying a great holiday. I will blog when I can over the next week.
Joyful quilting, everyone.
