Over spring break I’m happy to have had a lot of sewing time. I worked on a few “secret” projects but also had a chance to work on some works in progress for myself. First, I needed to get caught up on my Blogger’s Block of the Month. Allison posted the block for March–a fun churn dash block!
The collection of blocks is growing…I’m glad I’m making two of each!
I also made a couple of cute baby bibs from this tutorial (thank you Annette for sharing the link). These bibs were so fun and easy to make. I think I’m going to make up a bunch to have on hand for baby shower gifts!
I also finally had a chance to put together my California Girl Sunwashed quilt (pattern by Joanna of Fig Tree & Co.). I’ve been sharing bits and pieces of this quilt over the past month or so. The curves are all hand-applique’d, and the rest of the quilt is pieced. The applique’ went pretty quickly, and with the simple curves it is definitely a project for beginners to practice their applique’.
Now I just need to decide on an outer border…the first fabric I picked just isn’t going to work…decisions, decisions!
It’s back to the regular schedule for me this week…thanks for stopping by!

You gave a hint last week or so using pie shaped appliqued onto 4-patches. I can't wait to see what that project will be. Also have a need for that bib pattern and will be making a bunch of them
ASAP. Thanks for your Blog – it's at the top of my Favorites list.
