Flash Forward

 Here's the latest Stonefield block...and this is the last block for the month...whatever month. This would have a lot more meaning if I was still following the books in order. 

Meanwhile, most of my time has been spent working on this quilt. It may look very similar to the last post...however...at the point that most quilters move ahead and sew the quilt blocks together, I usually come to the realization that I want it to be bigger. In this case, I decided to add a row and a column. I then had to move the blocks around etc. and so I am back to where I was at the last post, except with a bigger quilt. 

Two More Blocks

 I think this is the most complex block in the Stonefield quilt (so far). The original has the sunflower embedded within an outer circle, but that seemed to make it more complex but not add anything. The construction called for taking the pink triangle, sew it to the diamond and then an outer wedge to complete the circle. Repeat 12 times. To make it accurate, I figured I would need to use paper piecing.

I will leave sewing small pieces to nutty quilters. I appliquéd two circles...the light pink and a dark pink circle and then appliquéd 12 green diamonds on to the pink circle. Finally, I asked the 12 cats to stop fighting and line themselves neatly on each diamond.

 And here is the last of the three hexagon flower blocks.

And here is Molly eating her breakfast at her desk as part of Buddy's diet. When Molly is hungry, she sits at the desk and waits for me to feed her. She has requested a bell to call for service, but I pretend I don't understand cat...which is true. I sit nearby distracting Buddy so he won't push her out of the way and steal her food.

Here is Buddy sitting at Molly's dining desk hoping that the world is fair and I will feed him like Molly if he does what she does. Instead he receives a hearty laugh and a disrespectful comment that he is wearing his "more than fair" share around his midsection. (The grainy, dark photo was taken from across the room). I did compliment him for being audaciously adorable.
