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

Cutting out Curves

Drunkard's Path - once again I am wondering why I went with this! I have to say I love Quilt-Alongs (especially the ones with Vicki) and joining with everyone else but …… the curved seams are playing havoc with my arthritic hands, especially the fingers so although I intend to persevere I have to say my contribution is going to be pretty small!! Why did I go for the 3 1/2" size cutting die you may well ask given my joint problems well  that was the only size available here in New Zealand presently.

So for the moment until the pain meds kick in this morning I am just cutting

not a hugely inspiring shot, but I  have more to cut tomorrow and will probably sew another half dozen blocks later today.

I'm off to link up with Cross the Drunkard's Path and have a peek at the other links, I then need to post my kitty cats!
