What's Up Wednesday: Sewing Time

I enjoyed some quality sewing time today on this rainy first day of spring Wednesday.

36 patch blocks

Four more 36-patch blocks are pieced for my Cowboy/Cowgirl quilt.

Shoo Fly block

April's OrlandoMQG block of the month is done. I have made many a shoo fly block, so don't know why I had to pull out my seam ripper not once but twice while piecing this simple block. We followed this tutorial for making the 12.5" blocks. For my block I used scraps of Architextures fabric.

Oops

I finished the quilt top for a gift several months ago but wasn't happy with one particular section so it was put aside. Today, I pulled the quilt top out and unstitched then restitched the offensive area.

Unstitching

The quilt top and quilt back are now ready for basting. I am showing just a tiny peek in case the recipient pops over for a look ;-)

Sneak Peek

So far I have maintained the organization of my fabric stash as I have pulled, sewed and acquired new fabric. My family is quite in shock that The Lab is still clean!
