Messy House Update No 7.

When the block for Moda Blockheads 5 came out this week, I knew I had to make it. I'm so far behind with Blockheads (just finished block 2) but this block, 23, was just so beautiful. I don't know that I will include it in the quilt that I'm making, but I do know I will be making it again in different colours. 

I also took the time to sort my blue scraps into sizes, strips and scraps.

With some of the blue scraps I made some coasters. I also used left over batting and did the quilt as you go method.

Have you ever had a race with the bobbin? As I am usually piecing it is not a problem to run out of bobbin and re-sew the piece, in fact if it is late in the day I would call it a day. This was the last row I had to sew together, and I almost made it. I then had to take the sewing piece out and, as is my routine, clean the bobbin area before putting in a new bobbin and lining up the sewing as best I could. Lucky it was a joining row and not the quilting.

This is the resulting top. 

Meanwhile I purchased some new orchids, couldn't pass up the beautiful colours.
