Here’s what is on my Design Wall today. I started these blocks at the Shipshewana Retreat in October and pulled them out yesterday as some mindless sewing to do during the Super Bowl.
I love how these have turned out. The pattern is Bonnie’s Pineapple Blossom. I have 25 blocks done even though only 20 are on my wall.
In other news, I managed to get my Strip Twist quilted on Saturday. But, I broke 4 needles and the thread broke at least a dozen times. Not sure if it is my machine (Sapphire 850) or the thread combination or what. Very frustrating but I got it done and it looks great.

I started one of these today for the friend who volunteered to be my daughter’s wedding planner/director. I am using one cream and scrappy reds. It will be on my secret blog (shhh)… http://www.secretsinshelby.blogspot.com.

So beautiful! It does look complicated, not mindless.

Your blocks look great! Hope you can figure out what was giving you so much trouble with the quilting of your strip twist – nothing more frustrating that all the stops and starts!

Nice! You’d never know there was anything ‘mindless’ about this!
BTW: I always look at the design walls of people in California. I live in Davis–where are you?
