Yesterday I finished a block from last week's Friday Block Party. It is called, "Friendship Scrap Block" and is made out of triangles. It's a 12inch block. Although it was not terribly hard, some of the pieces didn't line up as I would have liked them to. I don't think I will make any more of these. This one will be added to the 12inch blocks and hopefully one day I will make a quilt out of them.
This morning I just couldn't get myself started. It was dark and gloomy outside and I had been out late on Friday evening. I took a short nap and then decided to 'make' some fabric. I got a few pieces sewn together. but it just wasn't doing anything for me. So I changed directions and made some small 9-patch blocks. That is the block which is featured on the Block Party this week. (see my sidebar) These little blocks measure 3inches when completed. They are for my 'Oh My Gosh' quilt. The original OMG quilt uses even smaller blocks, but my fingers and eyes don't like to work with blocks that small. This quilt is fun, but it will not be done for a long time!
I also want to work on a UFO quilt that I started three years ago. If I can get it done by August I will enter it into our guild's Quilt Show in the fall. I hope I will feel in the mood for that tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone!

I think we all have those "not-in-the-mood-to-sew" times. It eventually passes, though! Cute little 9-patch blocks!
I admire the fact that you are still hanging in there with the Block Party...I should join you....
Love your colourful little 9-patches!
I’ve had a lot of those not feeling like sewing days lately, but they will pass I’m sure!
Have a wonderful weekend Hetty!
