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
ReplyDeleteLove 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!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love using your Accuquilt, I sure do!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! Hand stitching and crochet - my favorite activities. Your hand piecing is lovely! Love your blue crochet squares!
ReplyDeleteThose 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
