Birthday block and cutting fabric

I am happy to report that I am still on track with the birthday blocks. I didn't follow the exact instructions for the cutting which asks for squares, instead I kept strips where possible 


Only I sub cut one too small when slicing them so had to redo one part in the end

But the block came together quite quickly in the end.

I also spent some time at the week-end cutting the background fabric and more of the main fabric for the Mystery quilt scrap galore. I still have about 15 pieces to cut, nearly there!

And finally I printed all 50+ pages of the paper pattern for the Modern City Scape quilt along.

Well, this will be a very short one since I haven't turned my sewing machine on at all this month nor have I touched a needle... A mixture of too much to do, not enough time and more importantly, my finger is still not operational... So with that, the month and the year are nearly over but this is not my most productive one by all means... Wishing you all the best for 2025 and hoping somewhere I will find my sewjo again...

Welcome to my stop on the Hexie Blog Hop Be a Hexie Queen ! I am a hexie lover and always have an emergency supply of hexies in my bag for when I am on-the-go (which is actually very often) and when I first signed up for the blog hop, I thought I would show you a EPP (English Paper Piecing) hexie project. That was until I remembered a long forgotten UFO that was laying in a plastic bag in my cupboard. I thought it would be the perfect occasion to get the dist and cobwebs out (no it wasn't that bad really) and give it a new lease of life! It all started with a few scrap strips and ended with a few more strips! I ordered and received a scrap bag of Moda fabric a few years back and I received a pack of off-cuts of Migration by Holly Taylor. I wasn't sure what to do with it until I saw this Hexagon quilt-along on Julie of Jaybird Quilts ' blog that I know I wanted to join in, it was all about hexagons! And although there were machine-pieced, there was no horrible Y...

Well not really where I am. It is pouring down with rain and it is very windy too. But it has been snowing in my sewing room! If you have arrived from the Holiday Lane Pillow  blog hop , welcome! Today is day my stop on the hop. I first saw Jill's design last year and saved it on my computer to make it one day! So when Madam Samm announced the blog hop run by Pauline, I thought this was the perfect occasion and signed up for it. Thanks to you for the motivation and the encouragement to get going!
