Actually Some More Blocks!

It's been a relatively slow few days since my last post.  More rain scattered about, of course, but not as much company, although my friend I'm helping with her quilt came today, and brought lunch and her son with her.  We had a good time, and got her 36 log cabin blocks arranged and the rows and blocks numbered so she can sew them together next week.  It is going to be beautiful!  She is thrilled and also surprised that she has done so well.

I still have not heard any more from my Mississippi classmate, but it's been raining from there to here most of the time still, and will again this week-end!  He may not get here until June!  We are all just about ready to give up on seeing him this year!

Meantime, life goes on here in my home!  I've cleaned house, then messed it up, and cleaned it again, and again, and yet again.  I decided last week to get on with my sewing.   I haven't gotten as much done as I wish, but I have made progress.  Here's proof:

Block 27

Block 28 - I just could not cut this into little pieces,
and I also wanted to save that beautiful crochet!  So I just added the
bottom piece of white and cut it all the same size as the other blocks.

Bock 29

Block 30

Block 31

Block 3 2- I've decided I just as well add a little red along the way.

Block 33 - I stitched the lace on the pink section out close to the edge,
as I've done on other laces also.

Also I've overlaid some of the thinner backgrounds over heavier pastels which gives a slightly different effect which I like a lot.  I have several more pieces cut to put together, but will need to cut more of the longer triangle pieces which are hard to fit into lots of the embroidery pieces.  I just cut what I can work out of a piece and stack them up by section number so that I have a better choice of what sections will go together best.  It is a long, slow process, but I am enjoying it.

I need to do a trial run layout to see what its all looking like, and I may also have to get my estate sale friend to bring me some more embroidery pieces.  I don't think I have anywhere near enough blocks to do what I want to do, but I probably need to do some figuring too!  Just sewing them is more fun than doing the calculation!

If it keeps raining (like they say again!), maybe I'll get some more blocks made next week!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
