Detour

 I began cutting more bits for the postage stamp quilt and remembered that at the beginning of last year I had begun to make The Quilt Show "Pick-a-Petal" quilt by Jen Kingwell. Well, sort of. Turns out I just liked one of the blocks in particular and thought I would like a whole quilt of that block. I cut a pile of strips that decorated the sewing table for a year. But I realized that if I started sewing this quilt up, it would shed lots of postage stamp bits along the way. 

And so now I have a box of bits that I either cut from small scraps in my scrap bins and from remnants of the first round of sewing on the Pick-a-Petal. Now I just need neutral strips to sew the bits to.

None of this is easy to do given that Molly has delegated supervision to a useless (but cute) intern.

I also finished the third hex petal flower block for the Stonefield quilt...

Plus this weird flower block (the first of two).
