There was no horses yesterday, so no outside time needed in the high temp/humidity thank goodness. Emily will ride Tuesday morning early, before her trainer heads north for a couple of weeks.
I decided to prep more blocks through the Accuquilt cutter for the Flowering Snowball and Shoo Fly blocks. It took about 2 hours to get things selected, pressed and cut to be run thorough the Accuquilt cutter for the shapes needed. So far, I have no duplicates other than the background! I did 7 more of one block and 6 more of another so I should have 36 blocks when they are done. 6x6 setting = 72x72. I had a lot of blue in the first batch so I added more purple and green this time.
I might want it bigger, but I'll decide that later. I'm running out of the Kona Eggshell bolt so I might need to order another one if I decide to go bigger. I have not marked the stitching line on them yet, so I might do a little of that today.
I did get almost 2 more blocks stitched up yesterday. I just have one long stitching line to go on the flowering snowball. I have one more block marked for stitching, which will make 23 blocks completed.

the two quilt blocks look good together like that
Love seeing your progress on Flying Snowballs - such pretty colors! I'm having some hand pain, too - I think it's all the cross stitch I've been doing. Darn it! Glad you're staying in out of that heat!
Don't you just love using your Accuquilt, I sure do!
Oh yes! Hand stitching and crochet - my favorite activities. Your hand piecing is lovely! Love your blue crochet squares!
Those two blocks look fabulous together. I seem to get discomfort in different parts of the hand when I knit or crochet or with hand stitching. Those granny squares are pretty. Such gorgeous shades dancing fabulously together.
I hope the weather will be mild on Tuesday when Miss E. rides. Your blocks look great, Deb. I am really enjoying watching your progress on these blocks. Have a great week. Hugs.
