SUNRISE, SUNSET, et al

I have been slowly working on my
peachey-pinkish blocks...
I will call this one 
"Sunrise, Sunset" 
[thanks to my friend, Lizzy's suggestion
thanks so much;)))]

I think it really fits my scrappy colorways...
I have two more blocks to make and
I am doing them in manageable sections:
Cutting, then
Piecing the half-square triangles
[5 sets to make 10 of them.]

Then, after cutting them apart...
Pressing them open to ready them
for
Trimming into
3.5" 1/2 sq triangles.

I began with 4 1/4" squares so a bit
of trimmings result...

Here is my next block set up for sewing ...
Tomorrow I will just sew it into three strip parts
and then the next day sew them together...

I love working this way...💗
It makes sense to my fog-laden brain...
No overdoing at one sitting and getting
tired out and then making mistakes...

When I sat at my machine this morning 
I spied this cutie out my window...
can you see her???

Munching on our clover...
How adorable...

I hope you are all staying cool during this heat wave...
We are lucky to have our AC to keep us
comfortable here...

Hugs, Julierose

    a very "wordy" one, but continuing on...a change from my
    usual murder mysteries...

  3. The Sunrise/Sunset piece is coming together. I'm so glad you haven't given up on sewing despite the brain fog. You're a real trouper.

  4. You must be feeling a bit better to be able to do a little gentle sewing again.

  8. I'm glad you have a method to sewing that helps, I like your method! Your Sunrise, Sunset colors are just gorgeous. What a sweet little bunny - I love them so much. Before we got our dogs we had bunnies under our shed that would come out at different times. I feel sorry for them if they are outside when our dogs are outside, but they are much faster than our big silly loud dogs!

  9. I love your Sunrise, Sunset blocks. Your process for making them sounds logical to me. I like making my hst a bit larger and trim down. They are definitely more accurate that way. The bunnies are so sweet.

  11. Your Sunrise / Sunset blocks look amazing, Julierose. The hues remind me of the beautiful sunsets we saw this winter while camping. I really like how you make the blocks in stages. What a sweet bunny. Have a blessed weekend. Hugs.

  12. This just popped up on my feed, sorry I missed it earlier. Sooo happy you are posting, and sewing a little. I do love this block! The pinky colorway is just lovely. And you used my name idea! Tho I was all for Tequila Sunrise, I could use a drink right now.
    Take it slow and enjoy the good days.
    Bunny is darling. I do love their big eyes and nibbly noses.

    love

  13. Hi Julie Rose, I love these pretty blocks of yours. Now it looks kind of intricate. Just wondering if I could manage this pattern. Very cute bunny.

  14. "Rosy-fingered dawn," as Homer said. A lovely colorway.

  15. I love the color range of these blocks! Beautiful!
    What a sweet rabbit. I'm surprised she stayed long enough for a photo.
    I hope you continue to feel better and the brain fog goes away soon.
