On Your Mark...

I wasn't able to get my WIP post completed to show my progress on a few projects this week.  While chatting for most of yesterday afternoon with my sister-in-law, I was working on my blocks for the RW&B Blog Hop (thankfully for her sake there is a mute button so I could put her on speaker and floor my machine peddle)!

It really was my goal to get these blocks completed before the month started, but I was sincerely struggling with inspiration.  I mean I found a great paper-pieced pattern HERE that I thought would be neat, but then I cheekily thought I should super-impose Alaska across the middle to show how large it is (still not out of the question, just not in time for tomorrow)!  I realized that since I have never paper-pieced before, this is probably not the week to try that out.  As per usual, inspiration struck out of desperation, and a couple of the blocks came about by sheer accident!  One of the blocks I am even trying to wiggle into a lap quilt, but all I am going to tease you with today is a basket of scrap fabrics from which I started!  Come back tomorrow for my post and you can see what I have been up to for the past couple of days!
