Cutting Irene and Exhausted Battery

I spent Friday cutting all the squares for Goodnight Irene as I really wanted to get it started before the end of January.  I was so proud of myself as actually not only did I cut the squares out but I sewed my five blocks too!

However when I came to take a photo the camera's battery was exhausted and I couldn't even take the pictures!

So here, for starters are the photos I did manage to take before the camera conked out on me ... all my squares cut and ready to go ...





And will you look at that ... the jelly roll which I thought was just a brightly coloured roll is actually a Kaffe Fassett!  So I'm feeling a little sheepish that I didn't realise - but also quite excited that I'm actually going to use Kaffe Fassett's fabric in my quilt!

Now, without further ado I will prove that I have completed the five blocks - just wish I could prove that it was last Friday - the 31 January - when I made them!
 






What do you think?  I like them and am really pleased with them - and I think the mauvey main colour works quite well against the bright Kaffe Fassett jelly-roll!

So ... ready for the next step....

    Your blocks look great! And it doesn't matter when you get them done, so don't worry too much about the deadlines! :0)

    Thank you Terry and Michelle for your lovely comments.

    I am trying to keep up with the timescale because I'm usually one who leaves things to the last minute and then has a mad panic! So I'm trying to push myself this year to finish things ... on time!

      Thank you Marsha. I thought I'd have a change. I usually go for the calico background.

      His love of colour is so evident in his fabric, isn't it?! Thank you for your lovely comment.

    Very different look from some of the others I've seen. The dark X works well here.
