Here are blocks 7-11
And here are all 11 so far
Only one more block to go! Just waiting for it to arrive. Should be here any day now. I feel good getting these blocks done. I was debating buying the finishing kit that the FQS has for sale. But for $64.00, I'm going to pass. This non-working girl doesn't have that kind of money right now and what money I have set aside for fabric is ear-marked for other projects. So I'm going to finish it myself. I think I'll sash it with a solid red and make aqua cornerstones in between the blocks. I have some of the aqua from this line in my stash. It will work out perfectly.
The kits are more than generous with the fabric and there is enough for a second set of blocks; I think block 10 (pinwheel present) will give me a little trouble because I know there isn't enough of the blue fabric left in my kit but I think I can substitute something else. I know others have gotten 2 blocks out of the kits. I'm thinking that I will make a 2nd quilt and put it away for Amelia for when she gets older and has her own home waaaaaay in the future. Makes no sense not to use it. I went around and around trying to figure out who would get my 2nd quilt and the logical answer is Amelia since I don't want to have hurt feelings among my extended family if I gift to one cousin but not the others.
Now, what next? Postage Stamp blocks or Bliss? Or trimming threads from Vintage Summertime pinwheel top to get it ready to send out for quilting? OR my Birdie Stitches?
That's all for now!
Enjoy your day!
