Stash & Progress Notes

My order from e-quilter was waiting for me on the front porch last night when I got home after work ~ the fabrics are gorgeous!!

They've already been washed/dried/folded and will be used in one or more of the B&W challenge quilts I have planned for later this year.

I especially love the bottom piece ~ it is one of the Laurel Burch "basics" line.

I managed to stitch for a little while last night, so I snapped a series of process photos for the curved HST batik blocks. If you're curious about the method, you can see them here.

Big item to note - these are pieced with 1/8th inch seams. Seams wider than that cause the untrimmed block to be too small (of course, I guess you could cut the squares 7-1/2" instead of 7" to give yourself more working room).

Also spent an hour or so doing some handwork with a kitty curled in my lap ~ bliss.

Last PT session (at least for right now) is tonight after work . . .
