A Pieceful Week

It seems like sometimes it takes a lot of gumption for me to quilt.  By that I mean actually quilt a quilt, not just piece scraps together.  If I'm tired, or sick, or both, quilting just seems like a heavy lift.  But I can always piece.
Here's some fun I've been having this week, in spite of a rotten cold.

I'm participating in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge again this year (click HERE to find out all about it).  This month's color is aqua or teal or variations thereof.  I have to apologize for the photos, there was actually sunlight pouring into the kitchen when I took them, so all the colors are a bit washed out.

Aqua/teal was a tough color for me, since I barely had any scraps in the right color.  But then I remembered the feed sacks!  I'm making the Buckeye Beauty quilt from 1930s repros, so the feed sack scraps fit right in.  And several of them were the right color.  I ended up making 7 of these blocks, all different.

The house blocks were even more fun.  Truthfully, they always are!

Watch out for the tigers!

And the cats...

and the owls on the roof.
So I made 7 more of these blocks too.

Meanwhile, my basket of leader and ender blocks is getting a little bit fuller every day.  I have around 120 blocks now, and I need at least 300.  So that's a good long term project.

For now, I'm going to get a cup of tea and check out all the wonderful blocks and quilts everyone else has made.
I hope your projects are going well this week, with scraps and inspiration, and sunshine pouring in.

I'm linking up (late!) with Myra at Busy Hands Quilts.
