Chain, Chain, Chain...

Ah, it’s so nice when I actually accomplish goals!  This week, despite multiple hiccups (sick mama, sick baby, sick kids, insurance being broken, you know, the usual), I finished half my chain blocks for Garden Party!  My goal is to finish the other chain blocks today, as I’m only two seams away on each block.  Next week, we’ll see what I can do about the half blocks for the edges.

My current leader ender is assembling the remaining Garden Mosaic blocks into fours.  Once I have them all in fours, I’ll figure out whether I’m making a baby quilt or a teacher quilt.   Since I used all the light/medium blocks for a teacher quilt at Christmas, this once will be significantly darker.  I like it.  There are more than I expected, which is always a pleasant problem!

I intended to post earlier, but BJ was up half the night with congestion and discomfort, so I took a morning nap and then finished a puzzle with the Assistant first. It’s going to be a slow, but good, day.

P.S.  I hope to spend some time visiting the other Rainbow Scrap Challenge bloggers later!

It sounds like you NEED a slow day after the week you've had, Katie! Nice job on getting those Chain blocks done in spite of your challenges.

Enjoy your slower day! I love your Garden Mosaic blocks.

Hope you got in a slow relaxing Saturday with a good bit of stitching time. You've got a good start on both projects.

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...
