Swoonin'

I'm swoonin' over here.  Got my first block completed.  8 more to go!  And my second block almost all cut and ready for piecing.  The blocks are big but lots of cutting going on.  I decided to cut one block at a time; including my white background.   To stand and cut 75 3.5" squares (or however many needed for the whole quilt)... I will screw it up.  One block at a time is more my speed.

I'm making mine out of Ruby.  I've had all my FQs picked and matched together for a couple of months now.  Just waiting for the time to start cutting into it.  I have changed my mind on a couple of them.  I may re-thinking the pairing up.  We'll see.  I also have enough FQs to either make another Swoon for Amelia or digging through my quilt patterns and books and seeing what else I can create with Ruby.  I really don't want to toss the FQs into my stash and be forgotten about.  I want to use them.  They are really pretty.

Guess what came in?  No.  Not my secret.  You all have to be patient like me.  3 - 6 weeks.  BOOO!!  No, Punk's glasses came in!  She looks so cute in them.  See?

We need a haircut.  :P

I think they make her look so much OLDER.  I don't like that part. 

She wore them to school for the first time yesterday and did really well with them.  Wore them all day in school, except for recess and lunch.  I just don't want her to lose them.

I think I'm going to sneak upstairs for another 20 minutes or so and get my second Swoon block prepped.  And I need to cut the last block for the 12 Days BOM.  And I need to finish my first round of Christmas gifts.  Lots to do.  I think I'll be taking a "mental health" day soon so that I can just sew the day away.

Enjoy your day!
