Crazy Quilt blocks for October

Just because i haven't been blogging....doesn't mean i haven't been busy. it means we haven't have internet service for about a week....we had a storm and a lightning strike...again....and were having problems every other day....the phone people came out here....several times...we wound up with a new modem 3 different times....and i think we finally have all that problem solved. fingers crossed!

Here are my crazy quilt journal project blocks for October. i thought orange would be appropriate.


These have more embellishments on them than previous month's blocks.


But i am going to go back and add to some of the other blocks from previous months, too.



Of course, this quilt will probably weight about 50 pounds.


I better not use it when i am old and feeble....it will suffocate me. hahahahaha


But as i was working on it i decided i have WAAAYYY too many embellishments still....and will add more to previous blocks to use them up.


I am trying to use up fabric stash, thread stash, button stash and embellishment stash. i better live a long time yet.


We won't even talk about the paint stash...or gourds....or whatever else is in the closet that i haven't seen in a while.


But i am really enjoying the hand work....surprised myself there.


Novembers blocks are blue.  at least i managed to stay ahead of myself on this project. perhaps by the end of the year all the embellishments will be on all the blocks and i can actually assemble this monster.

I already have too many blocks for 1 quilt....so this will be 2 quilts. there will be 108 blocks when all are done....10" blocks. maybe 90 for the first quilt and then a wallhanging or just make more for the 2nd quilt.

His and hers heavy monsters. LOL

Later
