It feels like it's been forever since I've really sewn.  Yesterday, I finally finished something on my "to make" list...



It's a Wonky Pinwheel block, designed and requested by Natalie of Greenleaf Goods for Love circle's September project.  She's got a tutorial up, so you can totally make your own.

Does the block look big to you?  It did to me.  I thought we were making one, until I had done a good bit of work (my bad - not reading directions carefully) and then I realized I had a ways more to go.



Fortunately, I loved working with the colors she'd chosen - richly, deliciously "fall." 

So, yeah, pieces of these blocks lived on my work table for a week.   An unusual occurrence around here, for sure.



And I probably lost some "quilting brain" during my lapse because yesterday I kept sewing pieces upside down.  Now, finally, there are two!



Ok, so I have THREE quilts I'd like to finish within the next week or so.  (Naturally if you do a craft show, there's some catch-up sewing at the tail end.)  I'm ready to start quilting the smallest of them today.  There's a free motion design that I'm considering and am about to practice on a mini sandwich first.  It's pretty good odds that I'll retreat to straight lines...

Just glad to be sewing again!
