Focus Cutting EPP Sew Along

It's been a week of EPP this week. I've been working on the quilt from a few week back, 

and as it's been so cold in my sewing room I have only made a few blocks on the machine - will post them next week. Above is block 23 and it is L for Lizard. Below is block 25 - M for mug.

Other than sewing, I did re-pot some phalaenopsis orchids, and helped get the vege garden ready for planting. Here are two phals with the buds just opening.

BH6 - Moda BlockHeads 6 - update

Above is MBH6 - block 5, so many pieces. Designed by Chelsi Stratton of Sherri & Chelsi, this block is called Dew Drops.  


Blocks 6 and 7 were 18" blocks so I will leave them until I either have time, or have finished the two 9" projects I'm making with MBH6. Block 8 is Sandcastle by Sherri McConnell of A Quilting Life. I really liked this block and printed out the blank design page to make many different block designs. These are my two block 8's. The red photo one shows Jonnie, taken way back in 1997. I think I only need one more red block for the red column. 

The fairy block was made without the teal to go in the centre of the side border. 

I decided to make a new block 1. I didn't like how it looked alongside the panel and other blocks.
It was way too light. This one is much better and will be one of the corner blocks.
