Went to Joann's tonight and got some more fabric. I was trying to get away from the colors I LOVE (blue and purple) but I ended up buying blue and purple because that's just what I wanted! Not to mention I found a really pretty blue fabric, and I got it for the remnant price because there wasn't a yard left (which is what I said I wanted)

Block Completely Done!
Done!
Still Working on Block 2!
I am STILL working on block 2!
I got some of it done, then realized that it wasn't going to work because I didn't have any seam allowances! So I had to rip it all back apart, split the pieces up into sections and started over. That and the way I was doing it was confusing me!
And now I'm almost done making all the sections, after that I'll just need to sew the sections together and I'll finally have my block done!

Piecing a Backing
I was getting ready to pin Alex's winter quilt all together the other night and then realized that 44" fabric is not quite wide enough for the quilt.
The quilt is 50x60ish, so if I cut two pieces 60 inches (or 70 inches long to make sure I have enough) then I'd end up with an 88 inch wide backing and that's excessive. Seems a waste to make a backing that big and then end up having to cut it down a lot at the end.

Block #1, Sewing Room
I did another block #1 because I felt like my first one turned out crappy. I'm happier with the 2nd one.
I also took pics of my fabric stash and my sewing room.
Block #1
And I just now realized that on the top of my block the two green triangles don't meet up just right!!
Some of the puckering in the block
My fabric stash, that whole basket is full
The desk my machine sits on

Beginning of Block 1
I'm doing Judy Laquidara's block of the month (and I spelled her last name without having to look it up! Double checked it though!) And this is the beginning of my block 1 along with my fabric selections.
My fabric selections are in order from outside of the block to inside.
Dark blue=her light shade/white
Green=her green
Purple=her purple
Blue=the gold triangles in hers
Orange=square in the very middle of the block
