these blocks were so close to not being done within the month, it isn't even funny.
i got in the zone with working on my 100 day 100 blocks, and my brain kept telling me to work on my fussy cut sampler. that, plus my work schedule made it so i wasn't able to attend the scheduled class AND maker monday in july, which have been where i planned the blocks as well as sewed them. PLUS, these blocks were a little trickier than before, involving things like cutting in to a tossed print and creating a focal point out of them as well as using a solid fabric to eliminate all surroundings to isolate the image. well... i went through like a bajillion ideas before i hit these finalized blocks that i am now thrilled with.
so yeah... i started pulling the fabric on the 22nd and cutting on the 28th.
when did i finish sewing? last night, and then i photographed these 10 minutes before i ran out of daylight. crunch time, y'all. but boy does it feel good to have these done in time for class TODAY to get ready for the next batch of blocks. well, without further adieu, here's july's blocks!
i'm also trying to stop myself from buying more fabric and involve some of these in to blocks again... even though i JUST bought more fabric yesterday... oops!
but at the same time... sorry, not sorry.
i easily have enough cat & dinosaur fabric to make a few different renditions of this quilt. which is pretty exciting to say the least. how many dinosaur, cat & cat/dinosaur quilts will there be in my life? we'll have to wait and see!
