These are taking much longer as fabrics
have been pared down a bit and so........
decisions take longer...
Before I was really whipping through block making, but now, maybe
one a day...and I also had to cut more muslin squares and more triangles
for hourglass centers...
So far, I have 52 made up....all different...I have them all stacked in a pile
off to the side....
the burning question is will they all play well together?
?????????????????????????????????
And I have begun a new block-a-day project for the :
" Merry Month of May...."
Here are the first two....⇣⇣⇣⇣
to make up into a lap quilt on May 30th......
Another easy-peasey and enjoyable project....
I hope your weather this Saturday is as pretty as ours is...nice and
sunny--if still a bit chill-making with the winds off the ocean.....

I'm not a big fan of making Hourglass blocks, but they are SEW cute in the middle of your Courthouse Steps!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to love your Merry Month of May quilt from the look of these first two blocks! You have wonderful fabrics in your stash closet!
ReplyDeleteOkay girl color me impressed. Those are tiny tiny blocks to work on with the hands - my hands aren't good! Those are pretty.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy seeing more of your Courthouse Steps blocks and do like the new block of the day project. Ln the subject of weather, good to hear you're enjoying the sun, we on the other hand are indoors with cold, high winds and heavy rain outdoors!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! I love the idea of Merry Month of May but I have too much going on right now to add one more thing. I'd love to get my scraps organized, including cut, so that I could easily jump into something like this. Oh well, I'll just look forward to watching you from the sidelines.
ReplyDeleteMerry Month of May is going to be super splendiferous. Those hourglass cabin blocks are pretty awesome, too - and yes, they will all play well together, I'm sure of it.
ReplyDeleteYour Courthouse Steps blocks are super lovely!
ReplyDeleteAnd a new Snowball block quilt started, good choice.
And I've said it before but I do like your print and color choices.
How big are your courthouse steps? You could always pick 2 or 3 fabrics and make more rows on each. They are so fun.your new blocks are fun too
ReplyDeleteThere's just something about scrappy blocks, isn't there? To see if they all play together well, and they often do! Love the teapot fabric in your snowball block!
ReplyDeleteOf course your blocks will play nicely together - the fabrics are all wonderful and you're making it in the true spirit of scrappy.
ReplyDeleteThose blocks look tiny! You have some lovely fabrics.
