Tortoise and the Hare

I've got two projects on the design wall right now, a quilting "tortoise and hare" situation.  The September Nurture circle blocks are on the right.  Made from low volume and red/purple scraps I got them done relatively quickly last night.


The tortoise in this case is a top I am s.l.o.w.l.y. getting together to show off novelty fabrics.  I love the way it is looking and I am halfway there, but because each block has to be custom assembled it is taking its time.  Currently I can make about 1 block per 45 minutes or about 1 column per day.  Slowly but surely...


I'm done with work for another week and looking forward to some good sewing time I hope you are, too!  In closing, enjoy this picture of Rey demonstrating how NOT to sit like a lady :)

    Enjoy your week off. I live that novelty quilt you are working on. That is going to be a fun quilt. I am happy you shared it with Oh Scrap!

    I love those Crosscut blocks for your Nature circle - I participated in the Crosscut QAL and loved the results. The novelty fabric blocks look like a great way to show off fun fabrics - and your photo of Rey just made me laugh!

    The design with the novelty prints is outstanding! I was part of the Crosscut QAL and plan to make another one day (next year?). Your work is beautiful.

    Your projects look awesome! I am planning on working on some Crosscut blocks to incorporate into a traveling bee quilt I am working on. I also love your little kitty. :)

    You have some cute novelty fabrics there. Rey is obviously one very "cool" cat.

    I love your tortoise! I can see doing this with T-shirts as the focus fabric - just way more interesting than T-shirts in a grid.
