After a whirlwind week at work, I was thrilled to have an afternoon and evening with no prior obligations. I spent time on the porch in the sun and breeze, finishing up the hand quilting on the rainbow rail fence. This weekend, I hope to put the binding on and start on the quilt for the second twin.
Then I spent some time playing ball with my son. I think the game is supposed to be called "Catch", but for us, it is more like "Throw and Chase."
As the temperatures cooled, I retreated inside to finish up making the blocks on my scrappy spiral log cabin baby quilt. This one doesn't have a recipient, but it is taking up space on my design wall, so I wanted to finish it up. The blocks aren't sewn together yet, but I like the way it is turning out.

Ah, I remember the game of 'throw & chase' with my kids - now I play it with my grandies. Love the scrappy spiral quilt.
I really like your scrappy spiral blocks and layout. Thanks for sharing ... :) Pat
I love the choice of colors in the quilts you make! Bright,happy colors. Your recipients will always have a smile on their face when they see these beautiful creations!
I really like the way the color blocks spiral around...very nice!! Julierose
It sounds like you had a nice, relaxing day. Beautiful quilt!
Erin, what size are your blocks and where did you get the pattern? Is a freebie on the web somewhere?
I love the quilt! Who is the thrower and who is the chaser?
Echo Jean's question: pattern? Block particulars?? I really like it and have so many scraps that would work. I already have a fabric to use in the "white" area!! Happy quilt!!!! Hugs, Doreen
Glad to hear you got some down time (although playing catch doesnt sound very restful!)
What a fun looking quilt.
I love the cheerful look of that quilt as it progresses.
