Six Down and Three to GOOOOOOO!!!!

Yep, I love these blocks. If I don’t win I think I’ll have to make my own blocks so I can have a quilt of these blocks! They are going together pretty quickly. It takes me more time to pick out the fabrics than to construct...

Oh I Finally got all 9 completed!

Oh my life has been very full this month. Lots of hard work and company have conspired to keep me from my sewing room. For a bit there I thought I’d never get all the blocks made for August. Mine is a happy ending thanks to the quick way these blocks go together I managed to steal a block (pun intended) of time to make the last 5 blocks to put me in the running for August Block Lotto!

I just don’t see how I can get any more blocks completed before the end of this month. June just whizzed by and now company is coming to visit so, even though, I really really really want to make another block or two I don’t think it’s good form to go sewing up in my room with guests in the house!! LOL!!! So here is one at least to donate to the lottery. I first made an arc and well, I didn’t notice that I needed to put...
