Sometimes life throws you a curve & you just have to breathe & run with it. I had been slowly working on the Split 4-Patch blocks for Many Hands Many Hearts & for some reason I had in my head that they were due at the end of March. Then I saw the post announcing the block drive for March/April was LV 9-patches. (face palm) So this week I spent time getting my 43 Splits all done & then made 16 LV 9-patches to send in at the same time. Along with some cutting out for other projects, that was my week. No scrap blues.
We got the Wholehearted by A Bright Corner all sewed up this week in our FaceTime quilt group, so it goes in the closet to wait for the quilter. I’m so in love with that Albion fabric line by Amy Smart!
The last of my blue RSC blocks will have to get done next week while I start on yellow. I was frustrated at first, but then I realized that nobody is making me do any of this, so relax & enjoy & if I don’t make deadlines, there’s still time next month. It’s all good!
That is a great bunch of blocks that you’re sending to Cynthia – she’ll make beautiful quilts out of them! And I love the heart design, too. Sounds fun to sew along with a group!
You are right, deadlines don’t always work for us, so just go with the flow and enjoy your stitching.
There is a gap between rules and guidelines. It’s why I love the RSC. Everyone can work at their own pace on their own project(s). You nailed it with your statement that it is your choice and not a requirement. Dare I say I love Whole Hearted? What a delightful sampler.
I live by that mantra — there’s no deadline on our scrap quilts so relax and enjoy the ride! Wholehearted is very pretty and showcases the Albion line perfectly and the Split 4-patches are really pretty too. Looks like you had a great week!
