This seventh week of the FWQAL, I am visiting my mother in St. Louis. We’ve been having our own quilt retreat amid the heat and humidity of the weather and toys and raucaus of the children.
The two blocks slated for this week (blocks 13 and 14) were both fairly piecy while next week’s blocks are fairly simple. I decided I’d split them up and do one hard and one easy each week.
Naturally, I was excited to work with my fabric selections this week. Especially the Sherbert Pips fussy cut puppy. But I forgot to fussy cut it on point!!!!! And I don’t have anymore puppies. So I will have to make do. But, argh and duh.
While I’ve planned all along to make my blocks finish at 4×4 inches, most of my blocks thus far have been 4×4 inches before finishing. But this week, my blocks actually came out to 4.5 x 4.5. Yah! and boo! cause now I have a new problem:
I guess I’ll have to do some creative sashing.
Anyhoo, here are all of my babies scattered about. A lovely sight, if I don’t say so myself. 🙂
My mom is also making her own FWQuilt. For my mom’s June birthday I bought her the book and we decided to have our own little quilt a long. Since she doesn’t have a blog, she asked me to share. Here are her blue blocks:
Looks like you two are having way too much fun! How wonderful that you get to work together.
Your blocks are looking lovely! I'm having the best time stitching them up too!
