Blowin’ in the Wind

As I begin this blog post, the wind is blowing here, there, and everywhere.  The dandelion fluff is thick on the ground, and the weather is classic spring.

I have "inherited" Miss G and PK's cold, but I avoided their ear infections, so the crazy rolls on this week.  We are raising meat chickens again this year, so Friday morning I made a mad dash to the post office to pick them up before my oldest kids left for school.  I made it with about 30 seconds to spare.

I'm closer to finishing my goals for the month, although I've lost track of which Tiny Tuesday blocks are in which setting, so they are waiting for directions.  Otherwise, I need to baste and quilt my Sister's Choice in bee fabrics for the weekend.

My 16 patches are finished, my Tiny Tuesday blocks are waiting framing only, and my Garden Mosaic blocks are all done (please ignore the fact I didn't press the last of the light ones.  I was too tired.)

I really, really like how my bee quilt is turning out.  Seams matched pretty well, the borders fit the original measurements, and I already have backing and batting ready.

P.S. Be sure to visit all the beautiful aqua inspiration this weekend!

I had the same problem with how to set the Tiny Tuesday blocks. Diann at Little Penguin has hers on display this week. I think I am going to follow her lead.

Really nice projects you have going on! The wind is blowing like crazy here, too--last night we had thunder and lightning storms...very soggy here this springtime. Hope you feel better soon..hugs, Julierose

The wind is blowing here, too, and it changes your whole feeling about the day. Pretty aqua blocks on your design wall, Katie! So fun to see all those Broken Dishes blocks for Garden Mosaic - it's going to be amazing!

Oh, how I love an AQUA-filled design wall!!! Here's hoping that your cold clears up quickly. Enjoy quilting your Bee quilt!

Love your aqua blocks. As for the Tiny Tuesday frames, I've just been doing every other on my own. There was one that was supposed to be on point but I didn't like it set that way so I framed it. Th next 2 went on point and all was right again in the "every other" method.

Oh yuk! Hope the cold is very short lived. You've got some gorgeous teals up on the design wall. For being so short on sleep and not feeling well, you've had a great month.

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
