Sawtooth Star Quilt: Blocks 11-12

 

Are you sick of these yet?? Hopefully not, because according to the math I just did, (be impressed! No calculator was used!) I am only 17% done with the blocks for this quilt. I have to make 72! Eep!

While these blocks aren't my absolute favorites (I like bright colors!), they have a nice, unfaded crispness to the pattern which is delightful. It's very common for vintage linens to be faded from use so getting my hands on some that are so crisp is a treat!

 

Last one! Haha! I have finished up another batch of blocks to show y'all, but I still need to photograph them after I get home tomorrow evening. This indoor, nighttime light is just the pits!

Dessert of the Month: April

Finished this cutie at noon on April 1, no joke! ;) I seriously think he's my favorite so far. 

Sawtooth Star Quilt: Blocks 9-10

 

I have for your perusal today, blocks 9 and 10 of the needed 72. It really feels like every time I finish a pair of blocks, the fabrics I used instantly become my FAVORITEST BLOCK EVAR! 

 

 

But seriously, Can you blame me???   Look at these colors!! They are intense! They are harmonious! They might even rock my world a little bit. I really think that this is going to be the prettiest quilt ever. I'm so very excited about it and I'm not even halfway finished!

A little detail shot! I'm really proud of my joins lately! Points have been increasingly not disappearing into seams and I've been getting everything lined up well. I'm feeling like a *real* quilter! Haha!!

Sawtooth Star Quilt: Blocks 7-8

 

I finally got back on the horse and worked on my Sawtooth Star Quilt yesterday. It had been a while and when I woke up, all I wanted to do with ever fiber of my being was sit down at my sewing machine because it had been *coughthreecough* weeks since I'd sewn anything. Blocks 7 and 8 are made of a really pretty pink and gold floral bed linen that I bought from Jeni a while back.

 

I love the delicate lines of the flowers and the pink and gold? They totally pop and look amazing together. I'm really thinking I may need to start pairing colors based on some of these linens because the combinations still look great decades later. Yay!!

Lazy Afternoon

 

This cat of mine, he is doing what I would like to be doing. Sitting in a sunny window alternately napping and yawning. Then stretching for good measure.

Instead, I am finding everything under the sun to do to avoid finishing some wedding stuff that really needs to be finished today. 

For instance, I cleaned my ring because it was suddenly, not as shiny as normal? 

That was lies. 

This is a hell of a shiny ring. For reals. 

It makes me feel fancy even when I'm wearing a ratty t-shirt and jeans and my hair is gross from cleaning all day. Which it is not because that would imply that I had cleaned today. 

We both know that I didn't. 

Crap.

Oh, I know. An incentive. If I go ahead and finish this one task that must be finished today with no more interruptions, then I get to watch a Dr. Who and stitch on my sampler until the dog begs for dinner. 

Sounds good, no?
