And then the following week the blocks started being posted 2 at a time, and I fell behind. The more you fall behind, the harder it is to catch up. In the blink of an eye, block #22 was posted this week. Yikes! Suddenly I found myself 9 blocks behind.
I was drawn back into the project with Laurie Simpson's "Economy Path" block #22. There are 28 pieces in this block and it looked easy to make.
This is a 3" block small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It's very cute, but truthfully sometimes sewing a miniature block takes longer than a full size block! The seam allowances have to be exact with no room for "fudging".
My blocks are being made from the "Harmony" fabric line by Sweetwater. I was happy to find a scrap from one of their old fabric lines called "Mama Said Sew" and will use it up in some of these small blocks.
Here are all my completed blocks on the design wall. That's one busy quilt so far. I predict that sashing may be necessary to calm it down a bit. I better go and check the Blockheads II blog to see how many blocks I am behind now!

It's growing into a pretty quilt. I like it all mushed together 😀
Your quilt and colors are very pretty! Thanks for sharing.
I like it without the sashing, too. It is looking great so far!
I'm behind also, but hope to work on catching up this weekend. I love your colors.
You're not too far behind, but the last ones have lots of HSTs (using the multiple HST methods works well). I have some left over Harmony fabric from a project I just finished. Let me know if you need more fabric and I'd be happy to send it your way.
It looks like a whole quit right there.
That is going to be a very pretty quilt when finished--love all the blocks so far and love the colors you are using--so hang in there and keep it going--
enjoy, di
I really like your version of this SAL. The colors are comforting and not discordant. Nice job!
