SLOW DAYS, et al

 

I've been wanting to use up my 5"and 2.5" 

precuts for a while now...a lot of

them are leftovers from different packs...

Here they are stacked up and

ready to be trimmed up to 4 1/2"

This is the "try-out"  (1/4 block) I 

made to see if I like it and

if I like making it, too.

(these need to be trimmed up before 

sewing as you can see)

Four of these scrappy sqs set in

 this configuration will make this

lovely star block:

(I saw this on Beth's Youtube :

"My Sewing Room" and really 

like how it looks...)

Above is the first block of my 

"Not going to make anything new" 

project for the Fall months...

😀😁😂😃😄😅😆

[Didn't last long, did it?]

I plan to just trim the four pieces 

needed for each block before 

I sew---

 and not do a mass

trimming up to 

save my shoulders 

and hands...

This is my "slow machine project" for

days when I cannot hand quilt...

AND

am otherwise searching for backings

for my old UFO's--which,

BTW 

I find pretty tiring...

Here is an early morning

shot of our skies today

Just so beautiful.....

*****************************

I am still working on hand quilting 

"Sunrise, Sunset";

so far --one block is totally completed

⇩⇩⇩⇩

and

I have begun the 2nd of the 6 blocks

just above it...

⇊⇊⇊⇊

Quilting slowly and working for

only 15 minute intervals

I hope will be easier on my

hands and shoulders....

I hope your week is going well...💗
