I'm On a Roll, But Might Have a Squirrel Problem

I was on a roll yesterday.  I finished 1/2 of one of my 2018 Finish-A-Long projects, which was to hand-applique 2 Flourishes blocks, a BOM I set aside years ago.  I finally finished one of the blocks.  I hope to get the second one finished by next week, when I am due to report my progress.

Meanwhile, I have decided to restart Cheri Payne Saffiote's Sweet Land of Liberty.  I had done one block, years ago, then loaned my instructions to someone.  This is my finished block.  Lori@ Humble Quilts was having a quilt-a-long earlier this year.  I have saved her instructions/measurements for the blocks and am planning to work on this.  This is the block I had finished before:

Okay, this is where the squirrel comes in.  I knew I had a bag of fabric in the closet that I had set aside from taking a class years ago.  I thought these would be perfect for this quilt.  They are primitive type fabrics.  What I discovered was that the class was another of Cheri Saffiote's quilts called Crow's Feet in the book Wednesday's Best .  I found that I had 13 out of 36 blocks done.  

Today, I cut and sewed 10 more.  Now I just have 12 more to do, then add the borders, and the applique pieces.

Meanwhile back to the Sweet Land of Liberty, I made 5 of the economy blocks.

I also prepped for my saltbox house.  I need to hold off on this a bit, until I finish my applique on the Flourishes block.

I also prepped 2 more pumpkin  blocks for the Great Pumpkin Quilt.  These will be machine appliqued,  

I tend to sew on my machine, in the daytime, and at night sitting with DH I do hand work.

I think that is all I have going on right now.  Other than laundry.  My machine finally got its new shock absorbers and I have 3 weeks worth of laundry to do.  

Thanks for stopping by!
