Snake in the wood pile?

....or spider on the design wall?

Where's my dust buster???




Of course, I wouldn't object so much if was Spiderman instead...

....hey!  I may be old but I'm not dead!

Final Layout?

Work has been very hectic this past month but I think I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel as we head into the last 6 weeks of the school year.  It's been a long haul...

I've not been sewing but I have spent quite a bit of time studying the flower star blocks on the design wall (easier to do on the design wall than the design floor)...  and moving those puppies around.  I don't think any block has stayed in the same place as when I first placed it on the design wall...

...and now, looking at the photo, I see a block or two that probably will get moved again.   Anyhoo... some progress has been made...   who knew it would be this hard?

Finished Blocks

Not sure why chain-piecing is so calming for me...

...I just get into my zone and sew!

Same way with the chain-ironing...

...have a pile o' blocks in my lap...

...and press, press, press!

The hardest part was sorting the last strips....

...so that no one block had duplicate fabrics.

I tried not to have two dotted fabrics in a block... but it didn't work out.  

These are half of the 16 small star blocks.  Next up... arranging all 20 blocks on the design floor...  that should be fun!
