Design Wall Monday


I participated in a birthday block swap with my small online group. We each chose a block and everyone that signed up made you a block for your birthday. I chose Sunny Lanes from Quilter's Cache. I wanted easy and I wanted scrappy.

I made a couple for myself and then put them away with great plans to finish it up soon. Fast forward almost two years. I got the bag of blocks out of the bin and put them up on the wall. There were 14 blocks so I sat down and made 2 more. After looking at it for a while, I decided I wanted it to be longer.

So I sat down and made 4 more blocks, moved more blocks around and now this is no longer on my wall but sewn into a top waiting for the final pressing.

I like nice lazy Sundays. Hubby went into town and brought dinner home with him, we ate and then he watched TV and dozed and I sewed. Now I can mark progress for this on my UFO list. Hopefully I will mark this one as done in a couple days.

Visit Judy L's and see what everyone else is up to.

Very pretty, scrappy quilt. Quilters' ache has so many great patterns.

Oops, a bit of a typo there. should have read Quilter's Cache. Maybe a freudian slip? LOL

Yea for UFO's completed. Sorry I didn't remember to take a list of ladies in the Portland area while we were there last week-end... Didn't want to broadcast it over Facebook.
