One Block at a Time


I finally took down the Christmas Quilt and put up my GASP "Where's Lucy" quilt. This quilt was an ugly fabric challenge from 2007. I won the blocks and created this retro looking quilt. It actually looks kind of cool against my terra cotta livingroom walls.


I've been working on Block Exchange Blocks. I've challenged myself to get one done each week. Yeah, I know there are some over-over achievers in the group but I'm not judging myself against others. I'm trying to do what is comfortable for me.  This is Bonnie's block.

Here is Roxie's block.

Here is Jan's block. I guess my cell phone camera was still in shock from the orange walls in the first shot. This is actually brown and cream.

Cubby had his first ear infection recently. We feel VERY lucky that he's only had one, unlike his mother and his uncle who spent hours and hours in the pediatric after hours clinic. He made up for it in intensity though and blew his eardrum. Here he is after the doctor, asleep at the table. He couldn't even eat his favorite nuggets and fries. He's doing much better now after a round of antibiotics (free at Meijer).

Wasn't that "ugly" fabric turquoise and black? I kind of lost the color with the wall --- think my block is the top left. anyway --- it looks "cool" with the "warm" wall. ...and, yes, good that Cubby fell asleep with his head back!

I think my block is the end one in the middle row. Lucky you -- I never thought the fabrics ugly! And you've made a lovely wall quilt. Daisy

Good to see this quilt again - mine is the poodle block in the center. And of course, I love the turquoise/b/w combo.

You're ahead of me in block exchange blocks. I think I might win the prize for the slowest sewing this year. My goal is to get two done each month to try to keep up with the schedule but there's a chance I'll be scrambling to finish the last ones in September!

Love the Cubby pix too. :)
