Time For Blocks

 My friend Bev invited me around for a play date. She had a few blocks to cut out and thought I'd like to help her or cut a few out for myself. In the end I didn't have the right fabric, so I just watched and did a lot of taking. Once I got home I pulled out all my fabric. Finding the right ones to make my block took a little while. It all went together so well that I made a 2nd one Sorry no photo of that one. Will have to go over to play with Bev more often, she got me inspired to do a heap of other blocks. Working on a new idea for a beginners quilt with mixed size blocks.

 The Cat in the Hat....... I just loved Dr Seuss books when I was a kid. Megan was pretty keen on them too but Doug hated them. When it was time for bed time story's they were one book he would not read to her. Didn't like all the rhyming, drove him mad. Funny because thats what I liked.
The fabric has been out for a while but I didn't really know what to do with it.
 A few weeks ago I made a quilt for a class where we had a panel that I cut up and added borders to each  of the blocks and then put them back together. I used that same idea with this Cat in the Hat panel.
Made this little quilt for Jack. He should arrive in this world any day soon.

The geese have grown heaps. In this photo they still have baby feathers, but now there all gone. All they do is eat and poo. Every day we have a big mess to clean up, Which I had better go and do. Sewing girls will be here tomorrow so I can't have then wading through geese poo.
