Finished sewing little blocks

Tonight I finished sewing all of the little blocks.

This is all of them.

Began trimming them up.

Looks like I will go with a 3 1/2" square so they should

be 3" when sewn together.  I think I will have to find an interesting

fabric to cut into 3 1/2" blocks to go between them as they are pretty wild.

I wonder how many I have all together and what kind of a pattern I can put them in...

Sewing again!

It always is a good day sewing!  I made new curtains for the bathroom window.  They have been just white muslin for about 20 years.

We just repainted the bathroom (was it 3 or 4 coats to cover white with white??)

Decided we needed a change.  I found these curtains at a thrift store and remade them the fit the window.  Michael and I both agree they are still a little too sheer on the bottom.  We should be able to get by for a while with it being winter but will have to find a solution of some kind...  I do like the color though it is strange after so many years of just white.

Of course the new year wouldn't be complete without Pete in the sewing room today.

And her favorite spot - on the ironing board.

Did some assembly sewing on some tiny squares that are not cut even and are so old...who could have possibly cut all of these out......(me).

Good to get something going with them.

Day 197 - What to do now?

Well, here is that box of "squares" that my mom gave me from her church.  Quite the interesting assortment.

This is all of the larger squares.

There are a few smaller squares- wonder what all of these will make...

Quite an interesting puzzle.

Day 190 - Quilt Block Cutting

Cut some more of those blocks out tonight and had some company in the mess....

Day 188 - Cutting again

So on this unsettling day with tornado sirens going off two different times I did some more block cutting from the fabric that I had started yesterday.  These are 5" blocks.

Day 187 - More fabric

I had the day off due to lack of doctors at the clinic and 

 I spent it with my Mom.  It was absolutely delightful!

She passed on a small bag of fabric that needed someone to go through it and do something with it. 

 I have begun to dig into it and cut it into 5" blocks. 

 Here is the pile and the blocks I have cut so far.

Day 117 - Organizing

A tough day today so spent some time going through some little blocks.  Got rid of a pile of these and I think now I would be ready to actually sew these up! Yes, all 3 jars contain different size squares.....
