I have added the sashing to my In Color Order HST BOM quilt, but for reasons which are obvious from the photo I haven't ventured outside with it for a photo.
I did though venture outside (very briefly!) to take a photo of the strip I pieced for one of the February blocks in the SMQ2 Bee. That's right, February, I am going to be so ahead of myself next month I won't know what to do.
Jessica asked for strips of 40 2.5" squares, alternate white and print, to go towards the Checkerboard quilt that she plans to make from the book. So, I set too and cut out 20 white and 20 print squares.
The other block for February is for Kimmie, who asked for slabs of green in various sizes plus two charm squares in red, magenta or purple to make the Leaves and Vines quilt from the book. Thankfully, even I couldn't get the instructions wrong this time.
As I am now so ahead of myself, I have joined two swaps - The Friendship Bag Swap and the next round of the Modern Scrappy Bits Swap and I may just have signed up for the Triple Zip-Along too!
I would hate to be bored if this weather is going to be around for a while :)
Linking up to BOM's away and the Let's Get Acquainted Link Up
I'm tempted by the triple zip along. Good for you getting ahead of the game.
ReplyDeleteI love that long strip of squares - it reminds me a bit of that scarf Dr Who used to wear!
ReplyDeleteHi! Stopping by from the Let's Get Acq. blog hop. Yes, quite brave to go outside in the cold:) And congrats on being so ahead of the game with your blocks - quite envious. Hmmm... Need to check out the tripple zip sew-along - have been wanting to make that for some time.
ReplyDelete:) you really did keep busy! I keep hoping we'll get snowed in here for a day or two, but all we've gotten so far is constant sleet. Can't wait to see your In Color Order HST quilt - I watched that come together on Jeni's blog with much mouth-watering! x
