Design Wall Monday - July 12 - Blocks GALORE!

I’ve set a couple of mini goals for myself this week, including making enough blocks to finish what is needed for a couple of projects that are in the works.  And I got a good start on Sunday - sewing while watching Minnesota Twins baseball on TV.  And this morning I’m linking up with Design Wall Monday:   https://smallquiltsanddollquilts.blogspot.com/

These 4 blocks are made for our guild’s baby quilt project.  We present a baby quilt for the first New Year’s baby at the local hospital each year.  This year the committee provided the cream rectangles, and asked us to create any 6.5” unfinished block using soft pastels with that 2.5” by 6.5” rectangle.  We could sign up for how many blocks we would make.  I think this new quilt will turn out very sweet. 

I got 9 more Boxed Square blocks made for a new Quilt of Valor.  That brings my total to 84 of the 90 I need for a quilt top.  I’m really anxious to get this top put together to see how these 6.5" blocks look together.  That is more motivation to get those last 6 blocks done today or tomorrow.  

Enough Roll On blocks for another quilt is actually a moving target.  I’m not sure how many I want to use, because it depends on how big I want this quilt.  I had 30 already, and added 4 new ones last week.  There are 5 more ready to put together this week - so far.  This is another one of those projects that is easy to kit up for mindless sewing. 

Two more quad sections of Tulip Time are also done, with 5 of the individual tulip blocks sewn on Sunday too.  The quad is made up of 4 tulip blocks and 1" sashing strips.  There are now 19 quad sections and the parts for the tulip blocks for #20 are laid out on paper plates, ready to sew.  This is a long term project as I don't know how big I want this quilt or even how I want to lay it out.  There are lots of options to consider.
