The Homespun Block
Well, here it is, folks, the final block. I read somewhere that if a quilting project comes out lumpy and misshapen, you should just tell people that it’s folk art […]
Fabric
The Dwindling Supply
This is my next-to-last batch of sashing … well, if you don’t count the skinny sashing strips or attaching all the completed sections to each other. And it’s good that […]
The Backing Candidates
I’m getting towards the end of the piecing phase of this project. There are less than 10 blocks left to stitch, and I’ve made great strides on the sashing too. […]
The Photographic Evidence

The Morse Code
When I sat down to start on this triangle block, I saw I had written down a note for this block that said simply “interlocking circles fabric from Becca?”. I […]
The Official Record
For the record, it was probably dumb to combine constructing a 47-piece block with assembling an entire border row as my monthly quilting goal for the shortest month of the year. […]
