Today I trimmed all my charms for the Japanese Charm swap. I was really pleased because I had about 7" of fabric left after I had cut all my charms. I know a metre is longer than a yard, but not by that much. Someone very generous was cutting this at the Festival of Quilts when I bought it.
Everything on the left is my leftovers. Yay!
Then I got on with my bee blocks. Yes, more. But these will actually be finished and posted in the month they are due. How's that for an improvement in service here?! I was making for Jennie, over at Clover and Violet. She requested the Four Acres block in specific colours for one, and up to us for the other.
And now it is back to the real life stuff. Dental appointments and such to be rushed off to. Not for me but these things must be done.

I am impressed that the blocks for CHRISSY are done in the same month but the true question is: will they be mailed in the same month? hehehe Oh dear...please don't mail to Jennie!
ReplyDeleteWell done friend.
ReplyDeleteI received my Japanese swap fabric today. I will be fondling & stroking for a while prior to cutting.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that is not good selvedge gone to waste on the right there!! LOL
I love these blocks! Great pattern. Love your charms, too.
ReplyDeleteGood job on Chrissys blocks :-) Am rather envious of that "under control" feeling you mention. Oh how I wonder what that feels like...
ReplyDeleteOoooh what beautfiul blocks! Just love all those colours. Shame boring stuff like the dentist has to get in the way of sewing. I know that feeling only too well!
ReplyDeleteYour 4 acres blocks are awesome! I love making these. Now don't be turning into a control freak on us! Organic is best! Jxo
ReplyDeleteGood job on the Japanese fabric! Lovely blocks but why don't mine ever look lovely and smooth like that?
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you're feeling smug - not only did you catch up but you did it with style!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I remember what 'under control' feels like! LOL

Those Bee blocks are rather spiffing.

Good for you with your catching up and having it under control. I wish I could feel like that.
ReplyDeleteLove the bee blocks...just don't send them to Jennie! The elephants are cute!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Four Acres block. I've not seen it before but it will make a stunning quilt. I like your green cross block especially (I like green!). Di x

ReplyDeleteI gotta get some of that elephant fabric. I just love it. Your blocks look perfect. very nice.
ReplyDeleteLove the blocks! Well done to be finished so early! And the cutting too!

I love those elephants, I can't wait to get my piece of them. I made those blocks earlier this week when I needed to just sew, yours are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThose 4 acre block look perfect - must try them sometime. Add them to my to do list, which will be complete when I'm about 80!
ReplyDeleteSusan, the 4 acre blocks look gorgeous! I love your fabric choices, they look really pretty together!
ReplyDeleteOh yum! Gorgeous blocks and fab charms! Happy, happy, happy!
ReplyDeleteNice blocks, but check before you send them...they are for Chrissy Sew Lux, not Jennie, right? Or am I comnused?
