Wheww!! Spring is gone and it's like summer here today. It may get below 80 degrees after midnight.
No big finishes this week. I've lost my mojo for finishing. I have two quilts to bind and picked up another one yesterday. Maybe it was the weather.
Yesterday was our sew day and I worked the entire day on chain piecing for Easy Street. I haven't worked on this in months, since I've been so focussed on finishing UFOs. It was so nice to sit and stitch. "Just keep stitch-ing, just keep stitch-ing."
This evening I have been finishing up about 40 more components and then I will be ready to start putting bocks together. Well, after I press them all.
Quilty friend Elise "cleaned out a closet" and brought some kits to destash. Of course, after seeing them all day, one of them had to come home with me! About 9 more yards!!
I chose something that I haven't tried before - a one block quilt. Cutting the same shape from strips of fabric shouldn't be much different than cutting all those little pieces in Easy Street from 2" strips.
A few days ago my May Flickr fabric swap package arrived. Since I went shopping for goodies to send my partner, they always want modern, then I guess I have to count these FQs in the stash report, too.
Arent' they pretty? Love the teensy zippers - perfect for little coin purses.

I can't believe I'm farther along on Easy Street than you.! This is a first. My blocks have been done for ages and still up on my deisgn wall. You will probably get yours finished before me.
ReplyDeleteI think the hot weather did a number on you. Another quilt with tiny pieces? It does look very pretty though, but I'm not sure I could handle it right after ES. Good luck to you.
Oh your new quilt looks like so much fun to make - I'm so jealous! LOL I think I need to go find some little zippers like those and make some fun things.
ReplyDeleteI just finally finished Easy Street and love it. Now if I could only force myself to finish Roll, roll cotton boll! Looks like a neat new kit to work with!
