I know I'm late on hopping the bandwagon, but I am having a great time making blocks from Moda Modern Building Blocks!  I am enjoying being able to piece a block here or there, knowing that in the end I will have a stack of great blocks to piece a quilt.  I've only made a few so far.


I love the way the fabrics blend together in the block below!




This one might be my favorite so far!

And look at the kitties!  Eeep! I can't get enough of the Cotton and Steel kitties.

It looks as though Fat Quarter Shop will be getting more of the Moda Modern Building Blocks pattern in October.  You can also reserve a Moda Modern Building Blocks Quilt Kit through FQS.

I am having great fun pulling fabrics my stash to create each block.  I am not putting too much thought into it, but just going with what I feel drawn to. I look forward to having a scrappy quilt in the end!

What projects are you having fun with right now?

Weekending

Weekends seem to go just too darn fast, don't you think? I had a good one. Sewed a sweet quilt top for myself using my beloved Cotton and Steel, and made Pasta Puttanesca (recipe from The Pioneer Woman and it was delish!). Meanwhile, Tex and Harry sunbathed. Temperatures are getting cooler, a sure sign that fall is on its way. I've started a Halloween cross stitch sampler that I have been neglecting to begin since last year. I am having fun so far, and it is a nice distraction from quilting and sewing which I do all the time. What do you like best about the fall?

This and That

Doing a little sewing and cat cuddling. What are you up to?
