Don't you just love those days where you get a lot accomplished in sewing and finishing up work !!
My Start:
I actually began to put together the first blocks in my Irish Chain Twist Quilt-A-Long quilt.
 |
| Sewing along happily with Melissa at Happy Quilting |
I am making a lap size quilt. The size will be 60" x 70 ".
 |
| The quilt layouts in various sizes by Happy Quilting |
They are : A FQ Bundle of This 'N That by Nancy Halvorsen by Benartex
( am so glad that I waited for "THE right project" to come along, to use this lovely gift bundle!)
For the backing- I will use 4 other fq left from the bundle, plus some Lazy Day (by Riley Blake) floral fabric, and some yellow Michael Miller stash fabrics. It will pieced ... for a fun look.

 |
| I was happy as a clam, after cutting out all of the blocks for a lap size quilt! |
Last week, we began to make the X Improvisational block units.
 |
| I am in love with these aqua fabrics! |
 |
| 84 blocks , saying to me.... "Well here I am! Ready for you to sew !" |
And then, this week... after some trimming , and being "wonky" cut on purpose...
 |
| Now they are 21 Improvisational X Blocks |
 |
| Some blocks are wonkier than others! All of them make me happy! |
Now, I have a cold and wintery Saturday to sew, and have to wait until next Thursday to work on the Twists on Tradition blocks!
My finish:
My "Pink for February" Red Letter Day Mini quilt #177
Design by Camille Roskelley of Thimbleblossoms
 |
| Meet block #4 |
 |
| "Tinkled Pink" Red Letter Day mini 15 " x 15 " by Susie's Sunroom |
In case you were wondering....
Yes, I did have to use my seam ripper AGAIN!
But only for turning around two HST's this time. I must be HST dyslexic.

| I'm off to my sewing room! |
