Progress?

 I made my Little Letter V blocks this morning
 and the W blocks too. So far, I have not repeated any background fabric on either the bright blocks or the country blocks. We have three more letters to go plus the additional blocks to form the Little Letter Baby Quilts.
I am planning on using this layout for both quilts and have tried to spread my colors out fairly evenly with it in mind.
 I am stitching my last Santa block on my Christmas tree skirt today for Slow Sunday Stitching. I feel like it is taking so long and I am hardly making any progress because I still need to quilt the center and the borders too. See what handwork is going on today around the world here http://kathysquilts.blogspot.com 
I realized why I did not get that much quilting done this week was because I read this book! My book club selected this for our December meeting. I picked it up thinking it might take awhile to get through, but I was totally wrong. I loved it and could not stop reading. It is about a genetics professor on the Asperger's Spectrum who decides it is time to find a wife. He approaches it scientifically with a survey. It was so funny! One of our book club members recommended it because we wanted something light and humorous for this time of year. I highly recommend this and cannot wait for the sequel to be available at the end of December. It was refreshing to read something that was not all doom and gloom as so many books are!!!

  1. The swirl fabric that is the background behind Santa is a wonderful choice. Sort of like sky with a swirly wind.

  11. Great blocks this week. I've been meaning to read the Rosie Project myself, but haven't gotten around to it yet. You are about the 10th person who has recommended it. I really need to find some time.
