It was a slower paced weekend at our house for a change. We all needed to recharge a bit and got the chance yesterday. I managed to eek out a solid 4 hours in my sewing room. Part of that time was spent squaring up a quilt and making the binding. I'll tackle sewing on the binding later this week. There are two new blocks on the design wall. Block 11 of the Buck-A-Block BOM is finished.
So day 4 of my self imposed challenge to spend 15 minutes in the sewing room the rest of the month was a success. Tonight may be a challenge as Kiddo has a basketball game. I have strips for block 12 of the Buck-A-Block BOM laid out, so maybe tonight I can get the squares and the Thangles cut out ready to be stitched.
That's it for my design wall report this week. Check out Judy's Patchwork Times to see other great projects.
Four solid hours!! I bet you feel really satisfied by that and I bet you really got a lot done too. I need everyone out of the house to really concentrate - and believe me I need to concentrate when I'm sewing!! Keep up the good work! Cheers Helen
The Layer Cake Quilt Along sure is fun...I'm glad that it's every two weeks. It's amazing how a little time here and there adds up...just like a little block adds up to a quilt.

ReplyDeleteI think if you dont manage 15 minutes tonight that's cool since you completely rocked it yesterday! I bet that feels good.
ReplyDeleteI dont think Ive seen the pattern in your layer cake block before. It's striking.

Wow - good for you to recharge! Love the 2 blocks!
ReplyDeleteYou sound a little like me, pushed but all the BOMs. But I really like the block and fabric you are using.
ReplyDeleteYour header pics are so pretty! Love pansies.
ReplyDeleteSewing for hours at a time always recharges me too. Excellent progress happening here! I like the fabrics for the second BOM a lot.

ReplyDeleteMojo waxes and wanes. Sometimes just the planning of how to set blocks, or pulling fabric will bring it back. 15 minutes is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteLove your layer cake block...I must get to sewing mine.
