I feel like I've gone from zero to sixty at the sewing machine in the past week! First off, I’ve been making decent (if not super speedy) progress on my
partial seam Rangoon blocks. The pattern
calls for 15 blocks and I’m up to 7 completed with a few more in various stages
of construction. I’m calling that
halfway there and that’s not bad all things considered! My goal is to have the top completed and at
least partially quilted by the end of the month. Very doable and if I can stay ahead of the
game and finish it up, that will just be icing on the cake.

But here’s where the real fun is happening – I’m breaking out the big
guns for my
Broken Herringbone QAL with Molli Sparkles.
My test block was so much fun to make and I
thought it looked pretty amazing too! It
gave me that kick in the butt to keep on going and so far I’ve got two blocks
in 3 more of the solids. Here are the
two Kona Pomegranate blocks:
Kona Honeydew:
And finally, Kona Surf:
My other solids are Kona Carnation, Kona Grass, and the unknown bright blue that I used for my test block. Anyone have
any good educated guesses? And by the
way, the only reason that I know the other solids is that the names were listed
on my fabric store receipt. I really,
REALLY need to get one of those
color cards one of these days…
With all of this productivity going on, I might even get motivated
enough to catch up on my Sister’s Ten BOM.
Oh wait, it’s a new month already?
Which means that I will be 4 months behind now? Ugh…let me just get back to my Broken
Herringbones and deal with that another day.

Oooh love that honeydew!
