Pieceful Monday
I woke up this morning to cool weather, a sign that Fall is soon to come to our neck of the woods. I enjoy mornings when I can sip my coffee and feel a fresh breeze through the open windows.
I had a quiet weekend with some time to quilt. I managed to get 48 hourglass blocks done for the Mt. Hood quilt. I have 18 more to do, but I need to find some brighter fabric to mix into these darker blocks. Once the blocks are sewn, I’ll square them to 4 inches before adding them to the quilt top. It’s moving along faster than I thought it would.
I hope to work on this a bit more later today. This morning Big J and I are off to look at flooring for our next stage of home renovation. He said he’d take me to lunch, so how can I pass that up?
Linking up today with Cooking Up Quilts and Em’s Scrap Bag.

I love hourglass blocks – so pretty, and they do work up faster than you think they will!

What a fantastic effort to get 48 blocks made – they look great and I love your little basket! We are experiencing the last stages of winter down here in the southern hemisphere so are instead looking forward to those warm breezes!
