A lazy week for Choose Your Own Block-Along

No Pineapple blocks this week for Choose Your Own Block-Along  - it was one of those weeks,

however I did put together more H blocks

I'm working on a few "dulled down" blocks which will be needed to mix with the brighter blocks

then going to play round with the idea of adding a few T for Thomas blocks, I'll make one up later in the week and see how it fits in.

 The green cabbage leaf fabric in the very last block is a huge favourite, a forgotten fabric way down in my scrap bin but  I loved it when I first saw it years ago now there is only a smallish piece left so that can go in my "really precious" box.

My taking part in Cross The Drunkard's Path Quilt Along  has come to an early end due to hand problems which is a pity as I had cuts lots of pieces with the Accuquilt!

The garden is well into Spring mode now and three Wisteria are blooming, delicious scents filling the garden - here are two photos of the lilac colour

This time difference between New Zealand and other countries does mess up my timing for posts!

Choose Your Own Block-Along posts on Monday - I must remember to post Tuesday am in order to get the link title

Scraptastic Tuesday - I make my post on the Wednesday

and so it goes on, I now have a list on my wall right by the computer and to make things a little easier

I am going to write one post Wednesday and then link up with both the above sites.

The links are at the end of this post.

Blocks are the "H for Heywood" and progressing at a steady pace, I need to do quite a few more then get them on the wall and see where I need to go with lights and darks

The great thing with these blocks following directions from
Wanda at Exuberant Color
is that you get a positive and negative block - two for the price of one! You can see this here

They go together so very quickly.




More blocks for Pineapple Chunks

plus I pulled out a box with my Fruit Salad blocks hidden away in there and only seven more to make up so further down the track I will work on these and post - here's one of them

you can see why I'm not working with these presently as the pieces are so small, the block is 6" and  I started these for a project with Victoria and the 15minutes play team.

just before I go we have a beautiful yellow Banksia Rose in full Spring bloom on our trellis fence

Have a good week!

Scrappy Delights

Been busy with my scrap blocks  for Choose Your Own Block-Along and Scraptastic Tuesday, and I'm posting about both these projects at once - makes things a little simpler!

A couple of posts ago I mentioned I had been experimenting with my camera settings. Usually it is just set on Auto and I point and click but then decided to play around with manual settings  - very interesting. Below are my latest Pineapple blocks first taken with light meter on cloudy and the other in daylight - quite a difference in colour

Enjoy your week
