This will be a crazy busy week, with Veteran's Day and various other things going on. But I did some prepping over the weekend so that even small chunks of time can yield some productivity this week.
The Marigold Mystery is a BOM, and it might actually take me all month to finish the November instructions. Last week I cut all the strips needed to turn the blocks from 2 months into spools. I got the spool pieces sewn onto the 4 Dutchman's Puzzle blocks, and hope to get the 5 Sawtooth Stars finished up today. The blocks were 8.5" before the spool parts. Then there are a smaller sized set from a different month to turn into spools. Note: the navy blue is the overall background of this quilt.
Sunday cutting produced more of the novelty print Churn Dash parts. Frogs and bugs should make cute blocks. And there is a set with farm animals cut out too. That green frog print might be close to 20 years old, and there was enough to actually get all 3 sizes. I've been choosing prints with a "critter" theme for this one.
This may be a week where I fall behind on the weekly Blockheads blocks because I've spent too much time deciding on sizes and fabrics. This is a really great block, but it has made some decision making a priority before cutting or sewing. Because I'm making all of the Christmas ones in the 12" size, I've decided to leave off those tiny Flying Geese. It will just be the house. But for the Bright version I decided this is going to be one of the two 24" blocks, so the Flying Geese won't have to be quite so tiny. I'm still waffling on color placement for the Bright one. And on Wednesday the next block will be released. I need to get busy!!
