My habit of cutting ahead has been paying off again this week. One design board was filled with purple parts. That meant that with a spare 15-20 minutes these 3 Buckeye Butterfly blocks were all done. I'm getting close to having enough of these blocks for a quilt.
The purple Ticker Tape blocks were quick finishes too. I'll need a few more purple ones, but this is a good beginning.
The Gameboard block and Hollow-9 were not already cut out, but the right size pieces presented themselves as I worked on other things.
These were mostly small blocks with quick finishes. The design board still holds parts for several Tulip Swirl (4") and Scrappy Stars (9"). Some of those may be sewn this afternoon when I get home. This morning is our guild meeting for September, and we're having a Past Presidents' Quilt trunk show and brunch. Hopefully there will even be some ladies attending who've moved away since being our guild president.
Some cutting of purple for next week's RSC blocks has taken place - mostly with the larger blocks (12" finished) I've been making this year. Honey Bees, Snail Trail, Scrappy Stars, and Catnip parts have begun to take over the design boards.
nice purple blocks...
ReplyDeleteThese last 2 blocks are my favorites. I, too, only had stolen moments to make a block this week. Next week is not looking any better. I miss my hours of time in that creative space.
ReplyDeleteYou've done a lot with your purple scraps and it's just the first Saturday in the month. Happy stitching this weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou have lots of pretty purples, Sara! I really like those Buckeye Butterflies. It will be fun to see all the colors of those in a quilt!
ReplyDeleteYou are off to a great start with these purple blocks! Good work!
ReplyDeleteThe Ticker Tape blocks are new to me. How did I miss those? So interesting. I’m starting to get more time in my sewing space, but not much completed.
ReplyDeleteSeptember must be purple! Pretty blocks
ReplyDeletelove the purple!!
ReplyDeletegreat purple blocks, Sara.
ReplyDeleteCutting block pieces ahead is a great idea, sometimes the cutting takes longer than we anticipated. Then you are all set to sit and sew the following day.
ReplyDeleteLoving the purple. How nice to have a lot of it already cut
ReplyDeletePretty purple blocks, Sara. Love them all. Cutting usually takes time, great idea cutting the pieces to be ready to sew.
ReplyDeleteCute purples, I really like the medium purple with the circles and dots.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful purple blocks... that looks like a fantastic project... I hope you have lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd I look forward to it.
