Midweek Update

Thanks to all my encouraging commenters from last Wednesday's post, I've stayed faithful to my plan, and made some good progress on the Blueberry Taffy project!  I had some decisions to make first - sew all the blocks together by themselves or add a sashing strip between each block and each row?  One way would make for a faster finish, but I thought I would probably like the finished look better the other way.  So I decided to add the sashing, and that meant going shopping!

I came home with this Riley Blake Confetti Cottons solid 

in a shade of blue called Breeze.

Then you know what's next - squaring up the blocks, measuring and cutting strips, and sewing, sewing, sewing!

Although this is not the most exciting of quilting tasks, it has to be done!   I do enjoy looking closely at the blocks again, and seeing all the scraps that were used in making them.

I Spy a little penguin!

And here's where I am now - 20 blocks with sashing turned into five rows.  

Next step is to add the sashing between the rows - that is my job for the next few days.  But first, I'll be linking up with The Inquiring Quilter for Wednesday Wait Loss!

And at Alycia Quilts for Finished or Not Friday.
