All I was going to do was kit up a bunch of the blocks, that way, when I had a few minutes to spare, I could just do one. And one by one, they would get done. Well, I cut and cut and cut......and then I just had to sew one up, just to see. Right?
Well......twelve blocks later.....
AND I LOVE IT! The blocks are not in any placement right now......just the order I sewed them. I'm using a mix of solid and patterned yellows and golds.
And I can't tell if that top-right block with the turquoise background is needing to be replaced, or maybe it's my favorite! The yellow print used with it is nearly the same tone as the yellow flower on the turquoise print....so it really obscures the lines of the piecing. I kindof like that it is the odd man out......the rebel block! I think I'm keeping it! :o)
I have about 20 other blocks all cut and ready to sew, but for now......I'm just going to let them happen when they do. I have three other quilts that really need some attention......two of them have deadlines!
Hope you had a great day......I spent mine in the sewing room, and we went out to dinner! Yay!

*LOL* That is exactly how my Floribunda happened! Just got things cut so I could use them as leader/enders. Several blocks later I had to tell myself to stop. I did much of it as leader/ender after that, but when I hit a roadblock on my main project, Floribunda took over and became a flimsy!
ReplyDeleteI love yours--that rebel block adds great visual interest!
Sewing room plus dinner is the Perfect day!!! I love every thing you do. I've been thinking about your stars, now I'll be thinking about these blocks!! You sure do fun things in your sewing room!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day! Sometimes you just have to go with the flow. I'm sure you'll get those deadline quilts done in time. Florabunda looks wonderful and I'm for keeping that rebel block in!
ReplyDeleteLoved your title for this post. I so get it!
ReplyDeletesewing and out for dinner, dream day!!
I tried to use the floribunda as a leader and ender project but...well, it sort of elbows its way to the front of the line. A pushy quilt, no?!
ReplyDeleteLove your rebel block...it is turning into a fun quilt!
I ENVY you, a day in the sewing room. Heaven! but..I would hate to have 'two' other projects hanging over my head!
ReplyDeleteWhen a quilt calls out to you, you have to just go with it, right? Leave the turquoise!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect day... I make up kits too, usually of hand sewing.. Love what you have done with the Floribunda..
ReplyDeleteWow this is beautiful! What a fun way to spend the day :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your blocks. I have the same problem...but what a fun problem.
ReplyDeleteglad your having fun and OH I love that you used yellow its so happy.
ReplyDeleteI would love that block in later on you will see it will be your favorite block the one that makes you think or your viewer of the quilt think!
have a great weekend, maybe the quilt will be done on monday?

I love it when that happens, it's one of my favourite ways to work, you just have to go with the flow. It's looking great, yellow is my second favourite colour too.
ReplyDeleteIt's a happy quilt! I'm glad you came for a visit!
ReplyDeleteLooking great! I'm a huge fan of yellow, so this really appeals to me.
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't even quilt, and yet you have me craving a rebel block too! It is such a gorgeous color, perhaps I can convert the idea to knitting! ha! ~Lili
ReplyDeleteThe yellow in your blocks looks great! Yellow seems so hard to work with, but you did it right! Beautiful :-) We lived in Maine for a few years, and I wish I was there now! Are the trees gorgeous this year?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I'm always doing that... letting a project take over when I should be paying attention to another. Glad I'm not the only one :) This quilt will be gorgeous!
