We are three weeks into Quilting the Countdown 100 day project. There are 78 days left until QuiltCon. I'm spending at least 15 minutes a day working on my Patchwork City blocks.
I finished 2 blocks this week, bringing me to 34 out of 75 blocks complete. The blocks shown feature Kona Clover and Punch (I think).
I started the week with cutting out the majority of the six blocks in these two colors. These two sections will actually stack vertically in the finished block.
When I'm piecing I like to chain piece... I don't break thread between sewing units. I just take a couple stitches and then start the next seam. It saves time and thread. I also work on multiple blocks at a time, so I sew a bunch of seams, then I go to the ironing board to press them and get ready for the next round.
I finished two 8" blocks this week.
I ended the week with more components stitched together for the coming blocks. My next update should have four more finished blocks. ;-) Then I get to pick some new colors to work on!
Hop over to see what I did in week 1 and week 2.
Cassandra is the organizer of Quilting the Countdown (#quiltingthecountdown on Instagram).
Let me know if you're participating. I'd love to see what you're making.

I love your fabrics and colors. Your blocks look great.

Post authorThank you, Betty. It feels really good to be making progress on an old project. I never fell out of love with it, I just moved on to other things and never have enough time to work on them all! :-)
