I wish I could produce my blocks in an organized and orderly fashion - cut all the pieces, sew all the pieces, press them all, and trim the HSTs. But I can't. Somehow it seems like a lot for my brain to handle these days. So I'm doing it in spurts here and there, randomly cutting and sewing, having no idea how many I still need or have already finished. Just making slow and steady unorganized progress.

| part 7 blocks |
And my sewing time is relaxing and way more fun than sewing masks, so maybe that's the most important thing!
Here are my first blocks for part 7 on the design wall (with the flying geese strips from part 6).

I enjoyed this quarantine singalong with the Phoenix Chamber Choir in Vancouver as I sewed... sing along...
I could have written that first paragraph and begun my own blog post with it. I never seem to work start to finish in the orderly way either. I get too eager to see a block, or to do a different step. It usually means that I end up with extra bits, too, because I don't keep good track of my cutting.
ReplyDeleteI think your colour combination is great. The pinks are super and really bring the block to life
ReplyDeleteI loved that video! Had to send it to all my friends! I really like your Unity colors, too. I do the same thing when working from a quilt pattern - cut a little then sew a little. Eventually you do make all the blocks!
ReplyDeleteLove that KF fabric in the pinwheels section..it really shines out..
ReplyDeleteI am not organized at all--
as a matter of fact, I go to a room and immediately forget what I was going there for!! Yikes--I blame C-virus!!;000
Hope your weekend is a great one Julierose
Your post made me smile. I also have isolation/concentration. The only problem is that I have had it for most of my life. Don't worry 'slow and steady' wins the race.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video link! That was great :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the video of the choir singing along, really made my day!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw your first Unity block, I thought, "Okay". When I saw the group of them with the flying geese it was more like, "Wow". That is going to be a pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteLOVED the video--some very clever things going on visually and verbally, and it sounded really good. I was grinning through the whole thing.
Lovely blocks. This is going to be one very lovely quilt. All those pretty and bright colour choices.
ReplyDeleteLove the video! I had to share it! :)
ReplyDeleteHello hello, you're back! That is a lot of pink for you..but it looks wonderful. Loving all that bright green as well. Working away on my hand quilting this week. Should be ready to roll it again this weekend!
ReplyDeleteIf you make extra blocks, you can put them on the back of the quilt. I liked the choir.
ReplyDeleteYour "Unity" is amazing. Who cares about order as long as it comes out this way! Thanks for sharing the wonderful video.
