Instead of clearing out the front rooms for painting... I puttered in the cluttered and unorganized sewing area yesterday. It felt great to play with fabric.

I did drive to the Market of Marion first and got some fresh veggies. My $15 haul. Peaches, tomato, eggplant, peppers, tomatillos, zucchini, cukes and corn on the cob.

I cut out parts to make the last needed Birds in the Air Block. This has been placed in the correct spot and is ready for assembly.

I added the green big triangles to the alternate blocks from last month.

Then the bright and shiny new idea took over. Happy Village is a pattern on Accuquilt that is free for me as a member. I actually have all the dies for it as well, and decided to use the eggshell #184 Kona bolt I got from Missouri Star Quilt Company as the background. I did finish cutting out the backgrounds for the rest of the butterfly blocks before starting on this, just to make sure I had enough for those blocks to be consistent. 

The pattern uses the 8 inch Cube - shape 1 and 3. Those are the big guys. The Shoo Fly block will finish at 12 inches. I think I cut out parts for 5 blocks and was pulling different shades of blue for them.

Then the Flowering Snowball die is the curved one. This one is a fun one to hand piece. I was thinking an all blues/teals quilt. But the purple and green fabrics seem to have gotten cut? We will see, it might change back to all blues and those go into another quilt. Plenty of time to decide. I did cut out parts for 6 of the 12 inch blocks. I did go with a yellow as the center of these. I do love a touch of yellow in things to brighten it up. 

I finished listening to one audiobook (Libby) and started another. I finished 'The Book of Lost Names' by Kristin Harmel.  This was a great book.

Then I went back to a cozy mystery series of the Torrent Witches I had started on Audible by Tess Lake. I'm on book 5 - Holiday Witch. It is nice and light and cozy to listen to.
