Little Time = Little Progress

It has been a very long time since I wrote a blog post. Between school and planning, my sewing room has been deserted for some time. I have been able to spend very little time in my room. When I do get some time in there I am usually ironing, cutting, trimming, sewing or just sitting around. I tend to forget about taking pictures and making a blog post. So here is an update of my projects and some little gems I have purchased over the last month or so.

First of all, I can now post the pictures of the three Blocks for September that I made for my block exchange with my sister Julia at Jada's Quilting Adventures.
This goes with the Mosaic Quilt in Modern Bee by Lindsay Conner.

Second, I was so excited to get a collection of scraps from my sister in the form of triangles. I have never tried to sew a triangle shape before. Since she was just getting ride of the scraps I figured it would be a good time to play around with these triangles.

I picked out some matching colours to make diamond in the middle and some other random triangles which would make the outside box. This was very fun. However, I did find trimming them was a bit of a pain. It was fun and a good new experience. I have not decided what I will make with them yet but I will think of something I am sure.

Last but not least, I have been cutting up lots and lots of 5" squares. Some for a special project with my sister so I have hide those blocks. Some for my part of the Mosaic Quilt and some for an extra project down the road. I figured while I was cutting a 5" strip I might as well cut out as many squares as I could.

I almost forgot! Here are two gems I picked up in the last month. Modern Bee by Lindsay Conner and Pillow Pop by Heather Bostic.

Well I hope everyone is enjoying their sewing or quilting even if you are like me and have little time. Enjoy your weekend!
