You are one smart cookie, Joy! Thank you. 💓 Now let me try it.
I didn't sew a stitch all week but for the last week of Orange month, I sew up another one early this morning because . . .
one is a lonely number.
First and second block.
Will the entire quilt be orange and blue? It just might but nothing is determined yet.
Although, I didn't sew this past week, I did perused some magazines from the pile of gifted quilt magazines. I found a little block I like. You know the kind of block that just sit on your mind until you sew it up? Yea, one of those. So, early this morning, this one was born.
Yep, another one that has a 9-Patch vibe about it. I guess I'm a 9-Patch junky, lol.
I used 2.5" squares and strips but it would work with any size squares.
What's a new block without a little blooper. The backside is not quite flat. I need to pay more attention to the flip side next time.
AND some 15 quilt magazines are in the giveaway bag for the next and last meeting of Artisanat on June 2nd. Yeah me!
Group photo. It was fun sewing big pieces compared to my usual 1.5" bits. Hollow Nine with 2" squares. Newest block with 2.5" and the orange and blue one uses 3" squares.
This year, encouraged by Cathy at Sane, Crazy and Crumby Quilting, I tried gardening in containers. Something is growing and that's amazing to me who always call myself a serial plant killer. Lol.
Snow peas
Carrots . . . maybe? In the round container I put onions because I thought the potatoes weren't going to make it. Haha! Oh well. If the potatoes taste like onions, they'll be good in the stews. 😉 It's time for me to water these I think.
Something is changing at work. They have hired a new girl. It's been a month since the other one was let go. I trained the new girl this past week (more work). Even though, she won't work with me but the department that she will eventually work for won't have as many tasks for me to do anymore. So, it's still a win, win situation.
Hope you find time to stitch. It's always beneficial. . . for the mind.
Enjoy!
;^)
As always, I'll try to catch these talented ladies' link-party. See you there.

Sorry you didn't have time for sewing this week, but the new block looks interesting, (not that I need to start anything new). I hope the comments work around works for you. Since I don't blog (thank goodness), I have no suggestions for you. It would be good if your workload at work lessens due to the new girl hire.

I hope the comment trick works! I'll have to try it too. Love the scrappy blocks. Your little block looks like it would be fun to make and would make a great leader-ender project.
That made me laugh, calling yourself a serial plant killer. I'm that way with pot plants, I never buy them myself but sometimes get them for gifts.
Great orange blocks. I love your new block - I have just been trying to work out - in my mind - how four are going to look put together, and getting nowhere! Will have to get out pencil and paper. Good luck with your vegies. xx
Ah, bonne idée pour avoir les commentaires qui arrivent dans la boîte mail, merci pour l'astuce, ça peut toujours servir ! jolis blocs orange et bleu, et le nouveau est très réussi. Il a une couture partiale ?
I really like your blue and orange blocks, Chantal. Love your new block too. Good luck with your veggies. I've given up years ago.
Great new blocks, these are just my style. Sadly, I am also a serial plant killer, sometimes with too much water, sometimes not enough. I keep trying (sigh). Good luck with the comments problem.
I didn't realize that one could reply directly to comments from blogger. . .I also tried what Joy shared. . let's see. I hope the changes at work are positive. Change must be in the air as my work is changing too. I've always said the constant is change. LOL I like your two orange blocks and you new block looks great. You find the best ways to use scraps! Happy container gardening!
I like your blue and orange blocks! They would make a good quilt for a Denver Broncos fan, if you happened to know one. :) The new block you're trying is a neat one, too. I garden pretty much exclusively in pots and I always get something. Fingers crossed for yours to produce, too!
It's all go over there!! great new blocks. Did you get the comments?
Hugz
I like both blocks. A lot.
I'm liking your orange blocks! :)
haha - Serial plant killer - I can so identify!! good luck with them. and good luck with the new hire - hopefully that turned out to be a good thing
