Thank you ladies and I plan to be more careful. I didn't even notice the little quilt inspector. That is my Teddy and he is always under the fabric table lol.

After I made the few starters, I wanted more color so I pulled out some Laurell Birch cats, fish, etc. I am fussy cutting and building the blocks around them. I am going to be using lots of black as this makes the colors jump.

In the second photo you see two side of one large block and where the ruler is, I am going to fill that space with to square up as I don't want to loose all the patchwork I have done already.

In the third photo, you see the set up and the patch on the left is going to be adden to to square up also.

The fourth photo shows the two blocks all ready and squared up to sew together.

The fifth photo is all sewed up and the sixed is the beginning of the next block so far.

I just insert fabric where needed and add to to as I go along.

I just notice a very light fabric sticking out on the right of the top block, but not to worry, I will make it darker with some fabric paint.....

Nice Laura Birch collection and your quilt is really taking shape. I love your little buddy who keeps you company. I would like to see a picture of your new furniture. I will also be following your progress and thanks for the chit chat.

This is the second block I am calling it quits for tonight. That felt real good.....

Blocks are bright and interesting....I can't wait to see what they look like completed! Be careful....you seem to be having
one of those weeks!!! I like how open and honest you are and that you can laugh at yourself.

Another true scrappy that will be beautiful when its finished. Dont forget to
keep us updated on your progress.

If at some point you begin not liking that finished quilt - I'll send you my address!!! :) It is beautiful scraps you've saved and thank God you did NOT toss them; this quilt will be beautiful when it is finished... enjoy - and keep both feet on the floor- and no more falling!! I can relate to such falls - I'm about your age too - and just took a tumble last week, but not even a bruise - how? I have no idea!!!! But, I'm fine and just watching my step a bit more carefully.

Love what you have done so far with this quilt. Also like how you used the empty plastic containers. May have to do that with mine......... around here I am known as the scrap lady and will keep anything for later use. I will keep this in mind as it will also be a good way to sort my colors. Thanks for sharing. and PS be careful - hammers & ladders can be dangerous!!! :)

Isn't it odd how we are no longer the superwomen that we were.Were did we go.Sandy

That turned out so beautiful.Sandy
