Kind of like my Blessings blocks. When I saw them posted on the blog...yuck! They will sit for a while until I can make them pretty again.

Do I Put New Tires on the Car or Sew Today?
So here is today's dilemma. Above you see the Blessings blocks that I've made into hour glass blocks. This is far from exciting, but I love the fabric. It makes me happy. I need to figure this out today. How will these blocks go together? I think I'll stick with the burgundy sashing and the blue print border.
Do I sew or go sit for hours at the tire shop?

Design Wall Monday-after 2 weeks of no sewing
Blessings: I bought a layer cake from the Blessings line. One night after a tough day I just came home, cut, and sewed. It was very unimaginative. I just needed to sew.
The rule was that I would only sew on this when I needed a blessing or felt blessed. After 2 hours my day was better. At first I was just going to sew rows together. Today was the first day I have sewed in 2 weeks. I had the day off. What a blessing!
I'm not sure how this is going to go together. I have a burgundy for sashing and some of the blue print that's in the middle for the border. I love that print. I'm just not sure what to do with the outside blocks. I started adding another row because I love some of the prints in those blocks. Just not sure about it. This is one of the projects I committed to complete for the challenge. Time to move on it!
Below is some hour glass blocks I made today from the Nature's Notebook line. I love that fabric. Again, I had a layer cake. I like the precuts because you get to see all the fabrics in the line.
I don't like that you only get a few pieces of what you really love. Today I had to try to find more of the patterns I want to feature more in the quilt.
I am making 9 patches from a jelly roll of the same line. So an hour glass/9 patch quilt.
