Thursday night I printed some more shapes for the nameless quilt. I refuse to call it “The Thing” any longer. It needs a name! I got the fabrics picked out for the next set of 3 blocks and this block stitched. I’m finding it easier and easier to plan these blocks. I lay out the pieces for each block, make sure that the pieces that create the circles are in the right spot and then it’s really a quick block to stitch.
This is the back:
And this is a close-up of the centre of the back. I had promised someone (sorry, I forget who!) that I’d show a close-up of how I press this block, so here it is:
The batiks I had ordered from Sew Sisters last weekend arrived. I think a piece of one, if not two, of these is going to be used in the Alabama Beauty quilt. These were definitely my lucky fabrics! Tomorrow we’re off to Sew Sisters to pick up the frame. I can’t wait!
Along with the batiks was this cute FQ of Easter fabric. Wouldn’t this make a great back for a little doll’s quilt?
Thursday was another rainy, grey day. Lester spent some time on the windowsill, but there wasn’t much for him to see.
Smudge, on the other hand, decided it was a good day to curl up with a teddy bear.

I am always amazed to see the backs of your blocks. They are quite neat and orderly. That makes for a perfect quilt top. Love, love, love the batiks!! I feel like Lester an Smudge today, I just want to curl up, it is a rainy day!
