WIP Wednesday, 3/6/13

You will undoubtedly start seeing a lot of progress pictures from my current charity donation quilt. Yes, I have started way sooner than I usually do. Mark thought it would be a good idea if I could get it to his cousin, Ione, who does the fabulous machine quilt, a little sooner than usual so she isn't pressured to work her magic in record time just because it has taken me so long to get the quilt top done.

So for lack of a better name at this point, "Swooning with Oakshotts":

I'm going to have to work on my camera settings because the blocks in that picture look so flat. If you have seen shot cottons by Oakshott, you know that they practically glow because they are woven with two different colors. Just gorgeous.

Six blocks are done. Ten more to go. I had a few minor setbacks, first when this happened,

and then when I decided to sew the right side to the wrong side. Anyway, each time it required spending a little quality time with my seam ripper.

I'm also working on some crocheted Lego blocks for this little Lego fan (I found the pattern here):

Linking up to WIP Wednesday. Thanks, Lee. I think you have me back on the road to weekly productivity.
