Black\/Grey Donation top<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I made serious progress on the blocks for this quilt last weekend. As I mentioned, I took photos Friday (a week ago). That really prepared me for knowing what I needed to do to make some progress.<\/p>\n

Finding the blocks, which had gotten stuff under a pile of fabric, was a really good start.<\/p>\n

I laid out all of the blocks and realized that though it is getting there, I still need more blocks. The layout is 6×5 right now, but I might need to make it skinner and longer. Mrs. K’s quilt<\/a> is on my mind, though, and putting the blocks on point is skittering around on the edges of my brain.<\/p>\n

As soon as I had an idea of where I was, I gathered up all the parts of blocks that were on my sewing table and sewed them together. That added another 6 blocks to the group of blocks above.<\/p>\n

My blocks have a lot of fabric repeats, but I think when all the blocks are put together (like above), the duplicates don’t matter so much.<\/p>\n

I also think that Jackie and Cheryl’s blocks blend in nicely.<\/p>\n

I didn’t sew any new blocks as I tried to work on the Russian Rubix using parts for a new journal cover as the leaders and enders.<\/p>\n

This project is fun again!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
