Piece O' Cake

I decided that today was a good day to cut blocks for different quilts.  I started cutting early this morning, and by 3 pm I had lots of different things to work on.

Next Thursday is guild and I had still not done my bag lady block.

It is kind of backward compared to usually the corners are light, this one I went rogue and did dark.

I worked out a design layout for the farm girl quilt and I know I need a lot of 6 1/2 inch blocks.  So I thought hey, I can throw a couple Ohio stars into it.

I am so proud of this one, my words are all going the same way even!

This one I used a yellow, I had a piece of Polka Dot stitches from long ago, one fat quarter has really big motifs.  I thought it would be a cute center block.  Not too sure, but oh well.

I then decided I would do the cake block--while not in the book, it had been decided it would be fun in the quilt.  I had a page with the cutting instructions but that was it.  Let's just say that it definitely was not a piece of cake to make.  I had to recut pieces several times, and not matter what it just did not come out right.

This is my 6 1/2 inch block. 

This is my farm girl book with several blocks cut and ready to go.

I just put the fabric pieces in the book on the page that contain the block.

I also cut out pieces to work on Jeff's quilt, and for the Ocean Waves Quilt.

I worked on pieces for the ocean waves quilt for a couple of days this week.

I have a lot more blocks parts to make and square up before I start the "assembly".

This is my box of fabric that I use for my farm girl.  This looks good to what it looked like while I was cutting. 

I have a couple of fabric acquisitions also.

Chickens and coffee cups...do you see a theme yet?

1/2 yard cuts of Bee Basics Backgrounds.  I need more neutrals, probably darks too, but I loved these neutrals. 

 This is a 1/2 yard piece I purchased a while back.  I thought it would be a great background.  Soft pink flowers and dots on a white background.  And look at the selvage with the bees!

I think I have plenty cut to keep me busy for a couple of days.
