I should be working on my Bird of Paradise border. I'm so close to finishing it- over 5 years I've been working on it but instead I have been working on is this. Audrey posted on her blog Quilty Folk about the magic intersection of time and inclination for working on things. Clearly there has been time what is lacking is the inclination.
I got back to working on my Circle Game quilt. I decided to make 4 more blocks and make a rectangular quilt that someone in the family can use on a bed. I drew this fairly simple block on freezer paper, made templates and sewed it last week. Now I only have 3 more to come up with.
Happy Quilting!!

Your inclination has been busy. Your current projects are great.. Mixing applique and piecing seems like a good mix for me. Glad you're working on the Thimble Creek blocks. And your geometry teacher would be so proud of you for actually finding a practical purpose to that class.
I love your blocks and colours... how wonderful to spend time with family and sewing away at the same time :-)
I love how the applique blocks are coming along. Maybe as you're quilting trailing vines your inclination for birds of paradise will wake up.
Lovely projects all. I especially like the first one...what an intersting pattern!
Your flower applique blocks are beautiful. Are they your own design? Actually, ALL of your blocks are beautiful, but I am really drawn to the applique.
yes, I too love the 6" block size.
I too could sit and watch DA again. Go with your mojo. The way your flowers make a secondary pattern is wonderful.
only 2 more circles? great!
Ah yes, we do get ahead of ourselves sometimes. I love Audrey's comments, she really "gets" us! I say stitch away with those girls, they won't be home forever and your blocks are gorgeous!
All great projects, I would’ call that circle block simple but it sure is cute.
What fun to watch Downton with your daughters,
At least you are working on something! Great quilts cannot be rushed and you'll pick it back up when its time. All your projects are lovely!!
I love all your projects. The 9 patch flower is my favorite. It is so beautiful. Hugs
Always a pleasure to see your projects! You have lovely choices of fabric and colour as always. Well done with drafting that block. Don't worry about the "inclination" - it will come back for your border when the time is right :)
Yes, spend the time with your children. Fun to watch DA and see them enjoy it.
Great projects, finishes come when the time is right.
The applique blocks are very well done. They will make a very nice quilt in the end.
So true. The perfect time will come and in the meantime you're doing exactly what needs to be done.:)
Your applique blocks are wonderful--I am going to have to do a search for that Fons and Porter magazine! Circle Game is going to be awesome despite the need for geometry--lol!
