WIP Wednesday--Still Swooning

I'm back to Swooning again this week. Thanks for everyone's input last week on the blocks and thoughts on which one to put on the back. So I moved the blocks all around, arranging, rearranging. Here is what I came up with.

Conclusion? After a while they all started to look the same. Which makes me think that it doesn't really matter so much about the arrangement. Although if you have a favorite, or one that simply does not work for you, feel free to chime in.

So let's move on:

I had to take all my Farmer's Wife blocks off the design wall, and they ended up in a pile on the floor:

 just a few--there are close to 100 already!

And I started a quilt for a really good friend. She lives in a place where it is cold and she adores cats. This pattern is "Sliced Coins" by Don't Call Me Betsy. Highly recommended--super cute and super fast. An unbeatable combination.

I wonder if it will take her as long as it took me to notice that "chronicle" is misspelled!

And two of my machines are in the sewing machine hospital. *sigh* It's so good to have a backup.

As usual, thanks to Lee, who does her best to keep us accountable week after week.

Oh, I almost forgot. Major destash of some of my fabric here. You should definitely check it out--you might find something you didn't even realize you needed!
