FNSI January


 Last night it was time for the first FNSI of 2021. Looking forward to a year of sewing with all the lovely ladies who join in each month. Hosted again by the lovely Wendy.

I started early. I had been planning to start along with all the other ladies who joined The Schoolgirl Sampler sewalong run by designer Kathleen Tracy on Facebook. But things got in the way. Fast forward & they were up to 12 & week 3 blocks were looming. I figured i'd make a start & just sew 3 or 4 each day until i was caught up. But no that isn't what i did at all.

I had got to 9 & decided to quit but then thought to myself  "oh it's only 3 more". All 12 done & dusted. They are done in reproduction fabrics & as i put each fabric aside i'm putting them in a box to see it i can make the quilt without any repeat fabrics. :).So there you have it 12 x 4-1/2" blocks done in one day & week 3 blocks come out today. :) So i'm off to sew them today.

In the evening i did a little EPP.

Just the 3 in the photo & the paths.

This is Libby Morgan so far. 1 more row. The borders will be 4 to 6" making it a nice lap quilt.

Happy Stitching,

 At the start of March i had this pile of blocks. I couldn't get my head around how to turn all these differing block sizes into a quilt...
