Cubes

It's been a busy week at work, so I haven't gotten much done, but I did finally start sewing some cubes so I can get my one patch quilt put together. It's really fun! I'm going to have to put a quilt of nothing but interesting cubes into my queue of Ideas For Stuff I Don't Have Time To Make.

It needs a few more cubes, but here's the quilt on my design wall at the moment:

I might rearrange it a bit to add another row in.

It's fun to color the cubes on graph paper and then see them take shape in fabric form!

You might be able to tell that the fabric for the background hexagons is owl fabric. Coincidentally, the local quilt guild has just announced that the next challenge is a "zoo" challenge. I think I will be able to finish this in time to be a challenge quilt!

I'm hoping to get quite a bit of stuff done this weekend, so hopefully I'll have a lot of progress to show you soon!

One-Block Wonder

Yesterday was Quilt Receiving day for the Cotton Patch Quilt Show and now my living room looks very sad and empty because all my quilts will be gone until the end of the show. So, between seeing all the wonderful quilts while helping out at the receiving and not seeing any in my living room, I went straight to the sewing room for my rotary cutter. I'm making a one-block wonder quilt out of that owl fabric I mentioned in my stash report at the beginning of the year. 

Here they are all sewn and ready to be ironed.

And here's a sneak peek at one of them.

They're up on my design wall now, so I'm making good progress!
