Slow Going

Hard to believe it is June already. I'm hoping this month has much fewer health issues, May was rough on that front.  I've been reading more than I've been sewing the last couple of weeks, but I'm still making slow, but consistent progress on several projects.  My priority project has been Lupine and Laughter (Bonnie Hunter).  

I'm not a fan of sewing large quantities of HSTs at once, one of the reasons it's hard for me to keep up with Bonnie Hunter mysteries.  Plus, part of the block is paper pieced, which is a bit time consuming. So I've been making enough block components to make one block, while I'm sewing the parts together into blocks.  I spend a lot of time pinning, but it does move things along.  All the alternate blocks are done, but I've only managed to finish 2 of the main blocks. 

What looks black in the photo is actually a very deep purple.  There are 5 more main blocks under construction in that first photo.  It's slow going, but there has been more progress than shows on the design wall.  

Linking up with Patchwork & Quilts plus Sew & Tell Monday.
