Last week I again split my time with many mornings in the garden and afternoons piecing tiny pinwheels. I finished 16 each of green and blue pinwheels and sewed them into units.
I have pieced enough now that I have a system so they are getting quicker to piece. Sunday afternoon I pieced 16 light blue.
I still need 16 each of 5 different colors to complete the alternate block for the bows quilt top. If you haven't seen, this is my EQ plan.
Friday I wanted something different to sew and made 2 quick placemats for Wheels on Wheels clients. My pattern was inspired by Pat Sloan's “Oh My Stars” pattern which I have used a few times. Since I wanted the placemats to finish about 14” by 18”, the squares finish at 3 ½ “. They went together quickly and I love how they look so plan to make more.
I am disappointed that I did not make time to quilt on projects that are sandwiched and waiting. Vegetables just will not wait. Soon it will be too hot and the garden will slow down.
