The second block of the Harpsichord Quilt is done and attached to the first. I’m not planning to attach them all as I go, but was excited to see the first two joined. Thanks to a non-blog friend, Barb, I used a different music print for the centre black octagons of the second block.
The requisite number of the outer octagons will be joined to each block as I go, however. I’ve learned from the Patchwork of the Crosses blocks that leaving all the connecting pieces to the very end might not be the best idea.
The back:
I am so far behind on reading and commenting on blogs that I wonder if I’ll ever catch up. Sometime over the next 4 or 5 days, I plan to make my way through reading and commenting.
Mr. Quilt Obsession was having fun taking pictures of Smudge today. I love this one.
And this one of Lester:

Oooo those are really pretty Cathi. Smudge is looking like "Do you really have to do that when I'm sleeping?" LOLCrispy

What a great job Mr. Quilt Obsession did with Smudge! Tell him from LeeHaven for sure. Award winning.I see exactly why you're going to do the out octagons but leave the entire block until the end ~ you'll want to work on the placement of color, correct? I see what you mean. I love this block though. How fun!!!I've yet to catch up. I try reply to what I can as it comes in, mark it important to get back to for sit down times and the rest, well, I do at least visit their Blog!

I'm like you–seems I spend lots of time catching up. This week, when I got to the computer on my off-day, there were 118 posts to get through. Obviously, I'm STILL behind!
