A really nice weekend here. A combination of time with extended family Friday night and Sunday night and a Saturday with next to nothing on the calendar (SO rare) made for a perfect combination. Since our Saturday was not as crazy as usual, I forced myself to get out into the yard and clip back all my dying flowers (I'm so sick of yard work by this time of year.) But that evening I also had time to work on tidying-up my sewing room (made even better by watching Anne of Green Gables with my 11-yr-old) and catching up on some quilt blocks.
These blocks are part of the Bloggers
Block of the Month from Canton Village Quilt Works. I contributed a
block back in February. You can see my
last round of activity here. I haven't made any all summer, so it felt good to catch up! The block above is month
Block 9 by Cabbage Quilts.
And here they are so far. The blocks have a finished measurement of 8". Tomorrow block 13 will be divulged and then next month Jackie will share her assembly of all the blocks. I love seeing the different versions of the same block - it's cool to see the different personalities they assume, depending on the fabrics, colors, etc. One of my favorite parts of quilting - the endless possibilities.
