Sew a little bit of green ...
and some alternative blocks in blue ...
Of course, a few 9-Patch blocks were made too. Am I done with the Christmas fabric? I keep finding some bits everywhere. And then, Halloween showed up. Oh! Bother!
I'm trying to finish the quilting on Jacob's Summer. Since I'm quilting it diagonally, I have to deal with the bulk of the quilt constantly as it is a long quilt. Needless to say, I have to pause often to save my neck and shoulders.
But how can I get angry at this peaceful black ball of fur?
Hope all is well at your place. Enjoy!

Isn't that always the way, you go to sit down to quilt and there's a cat napping right in the middle of things! I like your first set of blocks, a great scrappy design. Christmas fabrics never go away!
Love your Jacobs Ladder. I have Christmas fabric scraps in quite a few things. Cute kitty.
So true, we cant disturb the cat, can we, when it is looking so peaceful! I'm guilty of that as well.
haha.. cats have a way of finding places to sleep that disturb our plans! I also like to have bits cut and ready so when I do get to the machine I can just sit and sew....

I really like those top scrappy blocks you're making! Do they have a name?
Oh so cute! Yes I can imagine quilting that monster on the diagonal is hard work - good luck! xx
A little bit of BLUE, a little bit of GREEN, and a whole lot of quilting on Jacob's Summer in the great outdoors...in between breaks for cat naps, of course. Keep plugging away at it, Chantal!
Jolis blocs, les petits bleus sont superbes. Dommage pour le quilting, il faudra attendre la fin de la sieste ;))
Merci pour le partage !
I love what you do with scraps! I hope you don't mind if I shamelessly copy? Of course you can't disturb gorgeous Raven. Cats always appreciate quilts, finished or not. Your Jacob's Ladder is lovely.
Goodluck with the hand quilting.......
You certainly do a fine job of putting all your scraps to good use. I looked at your post from Dec 31, 2022 to see a better photo of the Jacob's ladder, which looks fabulous, and found pictures of scrap bags. Haha, you're in the same boat as me. Maybe worse! But don't you love it?
It is always helpful to have something prepped for the next sewing session. That way there is no dithering around when you have time. Cats do have an uncanny way of discovering the current WIP and test driving it for warmth and comfort.
I might think that the real problem with quilting your Jacobs ladder is that cute cat haha!!!
Love your scrappy blocks!!!
