Today is the 234th day of 2011, and this is the 200th block I’ve posted. Keeping my New Year’s resolution to piece and post a different block six days each week hasn’t been much of a burden. I’ve sort of worked it into my daily routine. At some point during the day - usually mornings - I set up my sewing machine on the dining room table and spend an hour or so making tomorrow’s block. I use scraps most of the time, but somehow my scrap bag isn’t diminishing. Then I tape the block to my kitchen wall, take a picture and transfer it to my laptop. Early next morning I write about 150 words about whatever is on my mind, and I post it between doing the breakfast dishes and loading the washing machine. There are only 131 days left in the year, so I’ve got about a hundred more blocks to go.
You making those!? I thought you were googling different blocks every day. What do you do with them all?
ReplyDeleteI made every block I've posted. Today's will be part of a redwork friendship quilt. Most of the ones with black backgrounds are for my mom. Heather has dibs on some of the green/pink ones. Many more are for friends I quilt with one Thursday each month. If you see a block you like, speak up.
