But first - a photo I had taken with my phone-camera and forgot all about it ... when I took the picture of my Nearly Insane quilt hanging in my dining room the other day - I had unceremoniously dumped my Dear Jane quilt in the lounge.
Miss Gracie clearly saw this as an opportunity to rub up against a quilt that up till now had been impossible to get to! Little monkey!!
And in entirely marvellous news - I have been able to make a little headway toward catching up on the
Civil War Quilt blocks. Here are the blocks I made on Sunday:
This is Block 39 - Hovering Hawks. Such an easy block, but so effective.
Block 42 - H is for Hospital. How fun would a quilt be made entirely with this block in a Rail-Fence kind of design. Very striking.
And lastly, Block 43 - Right Hand of Friendship. I had to do a little unpicking with this one to get it just right, but I think it was worth it. I love the red print with the dots - I only had the smallest piece and wish I had more, it's adorable.
Well, that's my sewing for the weekend - it was so much fun, and I can't wait to get a few more blocks made. Chatter soon! xox

Miss Gracie does look a bit guilty there on your Dear Jane quilt... *lol*
Congrats on getting all caught up with the CW blocks! Very nice....
My cat also prefers a handmade quilt under her at all times...:)
Love your CW blocks! I have some of that cheddar and blue print I just love. It is sad when we run out of our favorites!

My cat loves quilts too, gorgeous shot of her on the Dear Jane.
