Catching Up

Sewing has been happening here but not any finishes.

I have been making oopsie blocks from Bonnie Hunter's 2023 leaders & enders.

When I put them together I found that I made two different directions of blocks.

Oopsie!

I used scraps and tried out the paisley above as sashing.

Then I decided to use the flowers on white below instead.

The top and bottom sections are twirling one way and the middle section twirls the other way.

I don't think it will be too noticeable with sashing between the sections.

When I finish this it will be donated to our guild's charity quilt program. 

Most of the time I finish one project before starting another. Gotham Quilt Shop

offered a free pattern, Indiglow, that used blue and white fabric, 

paper-pieced, square in a square in a square.

I have been saving a stash of blue and white fat quarters. 

A couple of fat quarters had Japanese children in traditional dress playing.

I fussy cut those to be the light blocks.

There are 81 paper pieced 6.5 inch blocks.

I am almost finished sewing them.

The pattern finishes at 54 inches square. 

I may add top and bottom borders to make a large lap quilt.

The week of July 4th we had a fun vacation in Colorado with our son's family.

Happy Sewing!
