What to Do?

Terry is hosting another sew-along on her blog, Terry's Treasures.   I did not think that I should join in since I still haven't finished her last sew along, 'Goodnight Irene'.  There are only so many hours in a day and I don'y think I can stretch myself any further.  Having said that, I took out my scrap bin this morning and found some 3 inch colourful blocks and some 2 inch light blocks.  I don't have any 5 inch blocks that the pattern calls for.  I cut the light fabric into 1 3/4 inch squares and made a few blocks using the 3 inch blocks.  They are very easy and I love them.  But now I have run out of the colourful, 3 inch. fabric squares and I will have to cut some more.


I have many other projects to finish right now.  So I think I have made up my mind as to what to do.  I will put this project on hold and finish some of the other UFOs.  It only makes sense.  No use making up another bin with an unfinished project in it.  But it was fun playing with these blocks this morning.

You could always sew them together as a table runner...
I wonder why it's so hard not to start something new when there are so many other things that need to be finished?

Now you know why I make blocks. It makes me happy and "That's what it's all about! " to quote a favorite song of mine. You put your right block in, you put your right block out.....

Your little blocks look great! Just finish a few things up, then start on making more of these later. There's no time limit on when you can join in on the sew-along! :0)

I have a different star block project in the works and I only sew a block when I'm in the mood. Eventually I'll have enough for a quilt.
