A while back I found some packets of blocks in a basket on my sewing table. In one of the packets were these leftover blocks from previous projects. The blocks were a few 4.5 inches square, 5.5 inches square, and 6.5 inches square measurements. Today I added some strips to the smaller blocks to make them 6.5 inches square then I added them to my crumb block bin. These little blocks have been shuffled around on my sewing table for a few weeks. I decided that today would be the day I would work with them and make them measure 6.5 inches square so they would work well with my other crumb blocks.
As I was going through my crumb blocks bin I found several groupings of blocks with notes attached to them. I guess the last time I had them out at our LAFS meeting some ladies pulled the blocks with a common color or fabric into groupings. I laughed as I sorted through these blocks. I was revisiting some of the fabrics that I had used in these blocks and also who might have given me the fabric in some of the blocks. It was like visiting with old friends.
I also have sewn together two baby quilts this week, one a pink one and one a blue one. When someone comes over who can hold up these quilts I will get pictures of them to post. I am waiting for a friend to let me know what gender her daughter-in-law's baby is so I can hold on to either the pink one or the blue one. If she decides to wait until the baby is born, then I guess I need to hold on to them both until November!
Happy Quilting
