Yesterday I spent much of the day cleaning and organizing but mostly tackling scraps that needed to be cut down and put in the appropriate scrap savers boxes. While I cut I also cut pieces for more spool blocks. A year or more ago making spool blocks was part of Bonnie Hunter’s leader and ender challenge. Well I made over 300 and quit. I figured Bonnie would come out with a pattern to use them and I was waiting for the pattern.
Well she did come out with a pattern and I really like it…only problem, it needs over 600 spool blocks. The pattern is in More Adventures with Leaders and Enders: Make Even More Quilts in Less Time
As you can see from the first picture I actually stopped cleaning and took time to sew a few of the blocks up. I’m over 60 closer to having them all pieced.
While I was cleaning I also got my stack of lozenges blocks all together and realized that I was about 20 short of having enough of the light center ones. I had thought they were all done but nope. I cut a few more of those at the same time and quickly sewed them up too. I got a few more dark center ones sewn up too.
It’s not a lot of progress but I’ll take any I can get. Today I am off to the quilting machine. I have a charity quilt on the frame and am hoping…just a bit that I might tackle one of my own UFOs. It’s been so long since I finished one…it’s time. RIGHT??
Today I am hooking up with Patchwork Times.
LOL – 300 would be enough for me. Bonnie makes such big quilts, I have no trouble reducing them and not feeling guilty. That one will be a stunner. What are the lozenge blocks for? They sure are pretty!
