The second-last block done. It’s a funny feeling being almost done with all but the surrounding cream hexagons. I know I’ll make at least two more quilts using this shape, probably more. There’s something about working with this long hexagon that is absolutely fascinating to me.
I’ll be digging out more stripes and directional prints for the big quilt. My goal is to make some blocks that are much more like the original Lucy Boston blocks with their amazing effects from fussy cutting. The back of block 32:
Wednesday was sunny but still rather cool. By now we should be having at least a few heatwaves, but not this year it seems. Tuesday night was so chilly I was half tempted to turn the heat on for a few minutes. I resisted that as we have the heat on for so many months of the year. I’d rather put on a sweater at this time of year than put on the heat.
Smudge found a cozy spot to sprawl out.



They fascinate me too! And you are doing a great job on the piecing. If only the front of my blocks looked as pretty as the back of yours!

Nearing the end, I just love that feeling. This block is terrific. Smudge is funny, my Rolo loves to lay the same way.

I like the way the pink stripe points at the green in this one. So many fun shapes, so little time to explore them all.

This block has a springy look to it.

Smudge looks so thoroughly relaxed – I must admit – I have such a temptation to tickle them when they lie like that. π

While I am in to naming blocks (LOL) I think block #32 looks like cherry limeade! It would be a very refreshing drink today with the temps here 103 degrees.
