Progress?


A few things currently on the go.  Road to Fortune is growing at 12 blocks.  I love the look of this.  The paper pieced blocks aren't too time consuming but this is my slow quilting project and I only do one block a week.  It is nice having a slow project without time lines or plans beyond the one block a week.


I made 2 extra blocks for my month of That Stash bee.  I have been watching blocks in the flickr group.  I cannot wait to see them in the mailbox.  I have this crazy idea to have the whole black and white quilt with one lone triangle of colour somewhere in a block.  I have not decided if I will actually do it but it is somehow most tempting.



The garden is also a work in progress.  I am currently declaring war on buttercups that just love to grow in the flower beds.  And the peonies are blooming...  mmm, just so pretty.

Linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced for work in progress Wednesday and The Needle and Thread Network too.

    Beautiful peony!

    The road to fortune blocks are really coming together too. Are you using a variety of whites? It's tough to tell. Looking great though.

    You are going to have two very cool quilts, Cathy! I like your lone triangle idea, too. That peony is gorgeous and I'm sure it smells amazing, too. Fun fact: They are the state flower of Indiana!

    I love your Road to Fortune, it is so bright and pretty. That is a great way to work on it, no rush. It is nice to have something without a deadline. I would love to see your bee block completed, it will be amazing, I think the design is awesome.
    I can almost smell that Peony, one of my favorites.

    Your Road to Fortune is awesome! And I totally think you should put a spot of color in the black and white quilt - that would be fun! Making your blocks tonight...

    You know I LOVE your Road to Fortune and I was actually thinking how cool a spot of color would look in your Depression Blocks quilt when I was finishing up today...it's a sign to go for it! I'll mail out your blocks tomorrow. :)
