Pieces of the Quiltville mystery (Indigo Way) are covering every surface in my sewing room. Sometimes I wish I was the kind of sewer who could just do one step at a time. Cut all the pieces, sew all the pieces, press all the blocks, and then trim all the blocks. But I just can't do it because I get bored, and also because my hands hurt from too much cutting and trimming all at once.
These are the blocks for step #4, and are not set in the correct layout at all. I have sewn 6 sets of blocks for this step and have many more to go. Don't you love pinwheels?!

I do thé same thing …cut a little, sew a little, press a little, trim if necessary, rinse and repeat! Your blocks are so pretty. I loved the picture of you and your Dad from yesterday’s post too. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, it's hard to just work on one part at a time. So like you, I've got various pieces and partial blocks stacked by the sewing machine. The pinwheels are cute, wonder if that's one of the subunits?
ReplyDeleteI could have written this exact post - about me! I can't seem to work on just one step or even one project at a time. LOL Your fabric choices for these units are terrific!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to see the pre-arrangement of the mystery units. I don't speculate, though--I just plug along until I get all the units made. Two more clues, I reckon.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am not playing along with Bonnie's Indigo Way, I work the same way you do. It's one of the reasons I love Angela's RSC so much. I get to work on other things during the month. I wanted to get a quilt to the flimsy stage so I had to do a lot of the same blocks for the last 3 rows. What a humdrum! Anywho! I love the colours in your mystery quilt. Enjoy! ;^)
