July colour is purple, and I still have my purples out for the fairy quilt, so easy.

I try to spend at least 2 half days and 3 full days a week in the sewing room and this week started with an extra day - woo hoo! But all good plans...... both granddaughters were 'sick' on one of the full days, so I never got downstairs.
I did a little bit of hand stitching, and above is block 22 of the Focus Cutting Sew Along - K is for koala, and the stitching was matching. Matching is not my favourite and I have been skipping this prompt, but the fabric I had was pretty easy to match. I also attached 5 finished blocks to the lap quilt from 2023 Focus Cutting quilt - slow going but it will get finished eventually. Should have taken a photo!
I also finished a placemat using the Modern Triangles pattern. This (obviously) wont be going in the purple and teal modern triangle quilt - Echo. I do like the shape though and will probably make a set - in different colours. They would be perfect for a round table.

I made my second block 1- Regatta by Vanessa Christenson, in a different way using some of these colours.
Putting the two blocks together one can see how block 1 really doesn't match.
So I made the other blocks darker to match the panel. I made another block 1 in an alternative design that I liked.
Block 3, Sunday Best designed by Ann Sutton of Bunny Hill DesignsToday I finished block 4, Cats Cradle by Kiley Ferons of Kiley’s Quilt Room. (Sorry I can't link as my firewall would not let me - Google it). A beautiful block and I will make another one in a different layout, but I had so much trouble with the rectangle blocks. Apparently there is a special ruler that would make it easier, so I'll have to try and find one.That's it for this week. I am going to try and finish one top next week and hopefully also quilt it.
