Another Block Review

Yesterday was an all sew day, thanks to the weather. I managed to get caught up on some of my BOMs, so let me show you what I got done.

Moda Blockheads 2

I’m slowly, very slowly, getting caught up. I believe there are about 10 additional blocks in the BOM. The blocks take quite a bit of time to put together, depending on the size and complexity of the block.

This block is 18 inches, so it went together quickly once the fabrics were chosen and cut.

The top block is 6-1/2 inches. It was an easy little block to construct. The bottom block is approximately 8 inches by 14 inches.

This block measures 12-1/2 inches. It’s one of my favorites.

Soon I need to gather all the blocks together and see if they are all going to play together well. I don’t have a design wall large enough to accommodate all the blocks, so it will have to be the floor, or possibly a bed for the layout.

2019 Monthly Color Challenge

This fun BOM, hosted by Jen over at Patterns by Jen, is helping me weed out my stash. The color for this month is pink. I have very little pink; I have absolutely no light pink (other than solids). So I went bold. Note I even managed to coordinate it with last month’s color — green.

The light for photos was so difficult today, with a snowstorm blowing through. I finally dropped the block on the floor by the patio door and snapped a photo. That pink really is that intense. The dot fabric is one of my favorites.

Minnesota Quilters’ 2019 Mystery Quilt

I have Clue 2 finished for this mystery quilt along. I’m excited to see the quilt design now that the blocks are coming together.

When the lighting is better, I’ll snap a photo of both clues. The fabric is really fun. This is not going to be a shy quilt!

Just before I finished for the day, I had to snap a photo of this little pile of trimmings. It just makes me smile.

Do you save your little snippets? If so, what do you do with them?

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, so I need to get my Valentine’s Day quilt finished. That’s my goal for the rest of this week!

What are you planning to finish this week?
