Meanwhile...

While I'm waiting for the next instalment of the mystery quilt over at A Quilting Life, I thought I'd check out what was going on over at All People Quilt. They've got a quilt along that just started, so I popped out and purchased the magazine so I could get started!

I ordered some fabric from Lindley General Store that I really liked, but what I REALLY wanted to use was this Print Shop Layer Cake from Sweetwater for Moda Fabrics. When I went looking for it though, I couldn't find it - so sad! I was so happy when I finally found it later this week and will surely use the new fabric I ordered for another project.

Now **technically** we're only on week one which is the week we're supposed to gather fabric. Yep! Did that...and then I started cutting - EARLY!

I thought I was being clever with my cutting and somehow convinced myself I could get enough fabric from one 10" square to make two blocks - OOPS! Not so much! I had to rethink my plan and work to get just one block out of each piece. Fortunately, as I need 30 blocks, there will be more than enough in my layer cake to finish the quilt top.

And once I had done some cutting, I just couldn't help myself and had to assemble a block! And then I just kept going!! And between yesterday and today, I made these:

Seven blocks down and 23 to go! I'm having so much fun! I've also cut the sashing and corner stones, so those are ready to go too!
