Layout Matters

As it's been really hot here lately,

I found myself enjoying the hand stitching project

 over the machine sewing.

Today, I'm adding some more flowers
 in lighter colors into my garden!

I also made more of the spool blocks.

And now I have all 25 blocks 

to make a doll quilt.

Well, someone nice who is happened to be 

my new friend called these are the cheater blocks

as there are no traditional Y seams to make

these ones like "Klosjes".

But that's quite all right with me.

I really enjoy making them!

Thanks Ms. H!

And don't worry,

I still think you are a nice girl ;)

Here are my baskets.

I added 4 more and they are now ready 

to be sewed together.

BTW, I did fix the "Oops basket" last night.
I'm very proud of myself!!

Anyhow, all of these three projects
will remain the way they are for now

 as I'm not for sure about

their layout yet.

I'll keep looking at them all day today

and maybe tomorrow

before making the final decisions.

Yes, I have some big decisions to make

for these...

Testing for something fun

Speaking of the fat 8th bundles, I got two more for my new adventure. 


As a member of "One Flower Wednesdays", I browse through other member's blogs weekly and learned there are two major viruses going on, especially in Europe. One is called "Klosjes" which I think "Spool" block and the other one is "Clamshell". As I don't need more of hand piecing/applique projects right now, I decided to make some Spool blocks with more of Jo's fabrics!

I've always wanted to try some of the projects from these cute little booklets from Temecula Quilt Co. and found this spool quilt. I think they are getting ready to through out the third booklet this week during The Annual Southern California Quilt Run. That sounds really fun, doesn't it!?

The block size is 3" finished. Yes, they are pretty small and awfully cute!!

The way this spool block made is a little different than "Klosjes". It looks more simplified for the rotary cutting and machine piecing friendly, which is just perfect for me! It's another easy and fun block to make with a nice effect.

Oh, I also stopped by at J store to stock up with all the cutting supplies I need yesterday while they are having the 50 % off sale this week. And look Heather, I got a new 60mm blade! Now I have 28mm, 45mm and 60mm rotary cutters ready to be in business!!
