Sewing on the phone!

This is what is up on the design wall right now.  I really like the look of the blue and red 12.5" blocks but I am totally bored with them.  I have to make many more of them.  I was planning to sew some tonight while I was on a messenger video chat with my siblings and I did get four more of the 6.5" blocks made so that is ONE more complete block. 

SIGH...

My design wall.  

In order to try to increase my interest I put up one rainbow block set.  That only lasted until I had chosen all the colors.  Can you tell I don't like to do the same thing over and over again?  I had hoped the fact that I was using many different fabrics would keep me interested but it seems that is not true.

If you notice at the top of the wall is a lone flower block. I saw it on Facebook and thought I could make that little block.   So I did

Isn't it cute?

After I made the 4 red and blue blocks I decided I needed a treat so I made a companion block for the first one.

Ahhh, that's better!

Since I was video chatting with my sisters while I was doing this I showed them the flowers.  Then I was informed I had to make a yellow flower too.  I was concerned because I wanted the flowers to have yellow stamens and I didn't know if that would show up on a yellow flower.  But we found a scrap of orange with yellow dots that will work nicely for the flower center.  I guess I can be flexible occasionally.

Ready to sew the pieces.

So all the parts are cut and laid out. Now all I have to do is sew the petals together and assemble the block.  That will be for tomorrow I guess. It's late tonight.

Hugs,

Nancy

Finished!
