10-Minute Block
I apologize for the bad photo. We have rain, lots of rain, for probably the rest of the week. It is dark, even in my solarium. I actually needed my flash. This is a 10-minute block which Barb of Bejeweled Quilts showed on her blog a few days ago. I really liked it and wanted to try it. I made my blocks with 8-inch pieces because that is what I had in my stash. There are 4 blocks in this top. I put one of the 'on point' pieces in the centre of the 4 blocks. It was very easy, but I had a lot of interruptions today. I plan to make this a bit bigger when I have time.
My second set of kitchen cabinets finally arrived. We were told they were being delivered today between 8:00am and 1:00pm, but they didn't get here until 3:30pm. Now my whole house is filled with boxes of cabinets because the guys who delivered them would not take the first set back. I have no idea what is going to happen now. And frankly Scarlet, I don't give a damn. Now I just want my kitchen installed so that things can get back to normal. Yeah, okay, semi-normal.
I want to make that block; but later I'm thinking. I like it. It will all be worth it --- the kitchen mess. Honest. Says the woman who has plumbers coming today.
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing outloud in my empty house as I read you post. I know how you feel about the kitchen. I can't see why they wouldn't take the wrong ones back but then no one probably gave them the paperwork telling them to. I hope it all resolves itself soon.
ReplyDeleteI love love love your block....
ReplyDeleteLove that block Hetty! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for your kitchen adventures!
ReplyDeleteNice block Hetty. Can't believe it is a 10 minute block.
ReplyDeleteI hope your kitchen wil be built soon.
Sending you some lovely sunshine from the Netherlands (we could do with some rain here, we hardly had any rain the last 2 months, bushfires are starting)
ow i hope my kitchen men will do a better job.
ReplyDeletehold on.
lovely colors in that block! the photo isn't bad! you have nothing to apologize for.
ReplyDeleteI don't think contractors know how to tell time or read a calendar. So glad your a step closer to a finished kitchen. Hang in there you'll love it when it's done.
