Oh dear me

Here is the start of baby quilt #5.  (Don't worry.  I haven't forgotten #4.  I have about an hour's worth of binding stitching left and that'll be all done.  Maybe I'll have it to show tomorrow.)  This little cutie is going to have lots of colorful brothers and sisters soon.  I've never done wonky piecing before but I LOVE IT - particularly after doing that kaleidoscope quilt where everything had to was supposed to match up.  Brutal.  I said some not so nice words and every single block was taken apart at least once.  Pitiful. Wonky stitching made me find my happy.  It made me come from a place of YES.  (I've been watching too much Bravo reality TV.)

And these are last week's contributions to the Farmer's Wife blocks.  I adapted this handy little gadget from Penny's yoyo along to help me keep track.  Since I should be doing three blocks a week to meet my 145 block goal, and it's week 10, I'm a little bit behind. . .

18 Century of Progress.  I hated the way this block looks in the book.  So like many others, I switched it up.  Once I finally post pictures of baby quilt 4, you'll see how much I loved those fat baby heads.

19 Checkerboard

20 Churn Dash.  This is so much darker here than in person.  And lunchboxes made me think of back to school.  I loved back to school.
