Saturday was National Quilting Day, and I spent the morning doing just that - sewing. And it all carried over to Sunday.
All of the blocks for a new Quilt of Valor are ready to be layed out today and pinned into rows. There are 12 blue/white 4-patch blocks, and 12 red ones. Sets of 6 star blocks will go with them - half with white stars and half with colored stars. This is going to be a very pretty QOV.
The parts are all cut and stacked for 9 Vintage Spool blocks for RSC. Some will be the smaller tilted spools and some are the bigger straight spools. These blocks will make good leaders/enders this week.
And the April mini is cut and ready to sew. This kit offered 2 versions - a girl bunny and a boy bunny. I'm going with the girl bunny because I love the bow in her ears. This one had a LOT of 1" pieces to cut. But now that it's all ready, the sewing should go quickly.
The 6 rows of Farm Girl Vintage blocks are still waiting to become a finished top. Maybe that will happen this week too, although it's a busy week: our 49th wedding anniversary, my 72nd birthday, annual mammogram, and lunch with the school retired group. Makes me tired just thinking about it all. LOL
I'm linking up today with:

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and Happy Anniversary! Two big milestones in one week. We did that, our anniversary and my birthday are 7 days apart. The QOV is looking really good, it's a fun design. Hope you get in lots of stitching time even with all that's going on.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and anniversary, Sara! I beat you to 72 by about six weeks and our 49th anniversary will be in November, so we're close! LOL Your projects look great. I look forward to seeing your RSC spool blocks as well as your other two projects. Those small pieces can be bothersome to cut, but they turn out really cute! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great week.
