More blocks

The 6" batik versions of Sewcialites blocks 13-15 were finished on Wednesday, and block 16 was released on Thursday.  Block 16 isn't done yet in any of the sizes.  Maybe that will happen over the weekend, fingers crossed.  #16 is a complicated block with a LOT of pieces.

Both of the 3" versions of block #15 (Brighten) are done as well.  That leaves blocks #12-14 and #16 to make in the dark and bright colors. Somehow I missed doing #12 in those colors.  But in the red/white colorway, I only have #13, 14, and 16 remaining. 

 

And that block #15 is going to definitely turn into some scrappy projects for future sewing - but not in a 3" size of course.  Instead I've been playing with the 9" version.  

There are now 2 pink Brighten blocks - for the February RSC color of pink.

And then I made a couple of blue ones (for January).  That didn't completely satisfy my need to play  with this block however, so then . . .

Yup - I made 3 patriotic ones.  And I do think these will work well in a future Quilt of Valor project.  

It was definitely time to stop playing and work on some things that were already in progress. I have been doing the Scrappiness Is Happiness sew-along with the local Sew Vintage group, but haven't stayed caught up.  So - the simple String block for Week #12 was a quick one to check off.  I believe I should have these done up through Week #16 so there is a ways to go yet. Baby steps!!

I need to make a TO DO list to help me focus for the next week.  Otherwise I know I'll keep wandering off to follow anything bright and shiny that crosses my path.
