Attic Treasures

I've been working on the attic blocks this week. I have all the pieces cut out. Now I just have to sew sew sew.

Here's a close up picture of the blocks. I'm making the small 4 patch with strips. The finished blocks are 6 1/2 " square. The small 4 patches are cut at 1 1/4" so when I get them together they make 2" squares. The larger squares in the blocks are cut 3 1/2" square.

Sew Sew Sew lots of chain sewing.

Here's the attic treasures blocks I've been working on. It's a good stash busting pattern. I'm not sure what lay out I'm going to use. I might have to play with them and come up with a combination of these 2 layouts. I have about a third of the blocks done. Now it's back to the stash to cut up some more pieces for more blocks.


The basket blocks are comming along I have 8 more handles to aplique. I think I'm going to make this into a baby quilt instead of a full size quilt. Don't know who I'll give it to but someday I'll need it for a gift.

Blooming

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. My life has just got real hectic. Here's a photo of my plant. Can't remember what it's called starts with an A. A friend of mine stopped by and ooohed and ahhhhed over it said it was hard to grow??? She said her father grew them. I wasn't paying much attention to it and then one day I noticed it was starting to bloom and it is just gorgeous. It bloomed last summer and I thought It wasn't going to this summer but it did. I think it helped putting it by the patio door it gets more light there. I promise to post tomorrow about what I've been working on quilt wise.
