What We Are Working On

 It was another slow day for pictures at Prayers and Squares yesterday. I spent most of the afternoon cutting for a new project we are starting. It’s a Disappearing nine patch for a gentleman who requested blues and greys. We have a substantial stash of plaids at the moment, so the blues and the centre red came from those. The greys will be cut from light grey fat quarters and leftovers from other projects. Here’s an Electric Quilt estimate of the eventual quilt. We’re starting with 6 inch squares of fabric, so it will go together fairly quickly. Beverly has been working with some nine patches that were donated to us. They were oddly and inconsistently sized, so she trimmed them to a consistent 8 1/2 inches and then made a bunch of hour glass blocks to go in between them. It was her first time making hour glass blocks. She did a fabulous job. And then here at home I’ve been slowly working on some more of the flying geese blocks. Harvesting from the garden and doing preserves has gotten in the way of sewing lately. Today is tomato sauce day. It is cooking down now, so I’ve got a few hours to do some sewing. 

I’ll link up to Finished, or not, Friday.
