Work in Progress Wednesday

I've had some extra sewing time this week, compliments of Hannah tackling all things kitchen and cooking for me! I love when this week rolls around each year!

There was quite a bit of cutting involved before I could even get started...think 400 tiny squares, 200 rectangles, 100 rectangles...and that's not even counting the stacks of 200 daisy petals!

The fabric is from a quilt kit put together by Handmade is Heartmade fabric shop, and they did a terrific job with selecting the colors! The pattern is by Pen and Paper Patterns.The Daisy Sew-Along is in full swing, and today I finished the first 7 blocks out of 25....which was this week's assignment.

Here I am in my happy place, my sewing room. I love all the quilty goodness surrounding me....

I'll post a bunch of daisy blocks soon, but you can see the first couple of pink daisies in the foreground.

I'm also just starting to work this week on the Moda Blockheads 3 blocks. I'm a little behind as 4 blocks are already posted on the designers' sites.

Here's my red and cream fabric bundle that I will be using and cutting into from Fig Tree Quilts. Isn't it just too beautiful to cut? (photo by Fig Tree)

Thirdly, the Clover pattern I mentioned in the previous post by Cluck, Cluck Sew will be sewn in all greens, another beautiful kit of green fabrics put together by Handmade is Heartmade. That one would be perfect to work on in March if I can get these other two sew-alongs under control.

So now you can picture me working away in the sewing room. Next Wednesday I'll post another Work in Progress with hopefully a lot of blocks completed!

That's a lot of cutting! But what a cute quilt you will have when it's done!

Busy busy looks like fun.

Enjoy Hannah's cooking for the week.

I can see that being surrounded by all the beautiful colors, seeing pretty blocks take shape, and then assembling them all for a beautiful quilt top could be a very enjoyable hobby. You almost convince me to give it a try, Deb!! 😉
