Molly's Diplomacy

 Molly and I reviewed the next block I made in the Tula series, and Molly very diplomatically explained how ugly it was. She was right. So we decided to show the full scope of Molly's diplomacy skills as she works at her embassy. Here she is setting boundaries for a squirrel.

Here she is less successfully teaching manners to an opossum.

And here Molly has successfully taught a neighbor's outdoor tom cat some manners.

More Rectangles

 Here are four more blocks built from rectangles. 

Let's add some yellow to the teal and orange. This is Block 24.

The theme for Block 25 is finding your inner child. And today Molly met her inner squirrel. A squirrel came up to the screen door and the squirrel and Molly were nose to nose. Of course I had visions of a ripped screen and assorted carnage. Instead, the squirrel now knows what Molly smells like and Molly knows what Squirrel #526 smells like.

Block 26. An odd looking block, perfect for odd looking fabrics.

Block 27. Appropriate block in honor of the rabbit that was hanging out in the back yard this morning. (Probably double dared the squirrel to go nose to nose with Molly).

More Blocks with Rectangles

 Block 20 (I think). I have fabric set aside to make a quilt using this jiggered log cabin block. 

One of the leopards is peeking through to the other side of the door. Block 21.

Block 22. This is one of my favorites. Two wacky fabrics that may be soul mates.

Block 23. 

And here they are together.

Starting Rectangles

 The next section of blocks in the Tula Pink Modern Quilt Blocks book features rectangles. This is the first in that section, but the sixteenth block.

Block 17.

Block 18.

Block 19.

In 2023, I used Block 19 to make a pink quilt for Project Quilting. Making an all pink quilt in one week might provide excellent fodder for a TediousLament. 

Here are the four blocks hanging out together.

Crosses: The first fifteen

 Here are the first fifteen Tula blocks, referred to as crosses.

In yesterday's post, I think I mixed up the number of the blocks. This did not seem worthy of a TediousLament.

Here is the closeup of Block 12.

Block 13.

Block 14.

Block 15.

In Molly news, her vet visit went very well. She was diagnosed as adorable with very soft fur. It would be okay for her to gain a bit of weight. 

A Full Week of Posts

 Here's Block 10 from the Tula book. And these blocks have definitely helped me ease back into blogging. I've remembered how to edit the photos. I do notice that I'm posting later and later in the day which makes it easy to skip a day or month or two. I was going to write a TediousLament about procrastination, but think I'll do it tomorrow.

And here's Block 11. It's my favorite so far.

Inching Forward

 Block 9.

Block 10.  Okay, I think I have used "put the purple Kaffe circles in the corners" idea a few too many times. 

Meanwhile, a lot of today was spent thinking about "what could go wrong" scenarios for Molly's vet visit (here, at home) on Monday. But that is moving into TediousLament territory.
