I got a few minutes this week and got to dig into the drawers of pre cuts.... to realize I have 2.5 and 1.5 but not really much 2 inch! Guess I'll need to remedy that as this house block from Bonnie Hunter (free patterns on her website) uses 2 inch strips. I'll be making a few more of these blocks today instead of heading to the guard competition in Orlando. It would have been a 15-16 hour day and I don't think I was up to it today. I did drop Em to school this morning for 8AM. Pick up is 11PMish. She had enough chaperones, so I didn't feel too bad backing out.
I also trimmed up all the blocks this week on the old UFO so they should be ready to sew into rows and a top today as well. My old book doesn't have the unfinished sizes listed of the blocks..... so I did some calculations and hopefully it is good. I started this back in the late 1990's... if you can believe that! The strips were cut and the nine patches were stitched. It was time to pull it out and dust it off.
Linking up with the RSC.
Blue houses came out beautifully, Deb. they will make a lovely quilt...

Cute house blocks. Finishing up an old UFO is always very satisfying.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting all the blocks ready to be sewed together! You're going to get that old UFO done & dusted in no time!!
ReplyDeleteYour houses are cute! I have an idea for another one that I still want to make this month. Glad you're moving that older UFO forward, too. Good luck to the girls in their competition!
ReplyDeleteCute BLUE houses, Deb! Best of luck with that UFO project in the works.
ReplyDeleteYour house blocks look nice. As for old UFOs, when I finally get around to finishing one, I always wonder why I left it sitting alone for so long.
ReplyDeleteCute houses! I tried the tiny tiny houses once & it was a disaster 🤣 I think UFO's will always be a part of our life lol
ReplyDeleteI enjoy browsing Bonnie Hunter's Free Patterns and reading her blog.. Didn't know she had house blocks in there but I'm not surprised she does. Your houses look good!
