I've had lots of company lately, which means loads of fun but not much sewing. Today, during a quiet moment in the shop, I couldn't stand it anymore - I just HAD to sew! My quilt guild is doing a Comfort Quilt workshop in June, and while I can't attend, I figure I can at least sew up some blocks to donate. I'm not sure what this block is called, but it is a super way to use up my precut 5" squares from scraps (cut down into 2.5" x 4.5" bricks).
Eight 5" squares plus 15 to 20 minutes equals two scrappy 8.5" blocks. I bet I can whip up 2 a day of these most days, no problem!
Quilting is becoming an increasingly important and integral part of my life. My creative outlet changes how I view the world around me, influences the activities I pursue with my family, and introduces me to new people whose life paths wouldn't ordinarily intersect mine. My life is much like my favorite types of quilts - scrappy and unconventional, full of interest and surprises, and with an underlying current of making do (and making something beautiful!) with what I have.
