Combos Continue

C-2

Block 144, a combination has been added to the completed list, with several more coming up soon. I managed to prep another block today and may just have the energy to prep a second.

Happy Quilting,

Blue Combo Makes #143

F-10

I think I saved most of the combinations for the end of the main blocks...or at least it seems that way this weekend. It's nice to have a relaxed schedule to work on combos, since I don't seem to switch gears from piecing to applique very quickly.

I imagine Sunday and Monday's blocks will be combos as well so I can save my few pieced blocks for busy days.

Happy Quilting,

Fussy Cut 142

D-11

Combinations can go pretty smoothly, despite a busy life. I pieced early this morning and decided to wait to prep the applique diamonds. While listening to local news, the tiny applique pieces whipped up in no time.

Happy Quilting,

Passed the 3,000 Piece Mark

D-2 passed the 3,000 piece mark

Mouse in the Mirror was such a fun block. I'm glad I saved a smaller print for this one. It went smoothly with no fussy cutting or directional prints to deal with. 

Passing the 3,000 piece mark has given me a boost---I'm really ready for whatever block tomorrow brings. I moved all the piles separated by techniques (applique, combination & piecing) into a single stack for this last phase.

The fabrics were selected last night...I feel like I have all my little ducks in a row. 

Happy Quilting,

BLOCK BLITZ BEGINS!

Today's block is E-7. This was not exactly my favorite block (read: redo!) but I'm grateful to be able to mark it done. This makes 140 blocks, inching closer to 3,000 pieces. I imagine I'll hit that milestone some time this week.
