From Fodder To Flimsy


It's a flimsy!
Happy Blocks
42.5 x 42.5


Fodder - n. raw material, as for artistic creation.

This month the theme in my sewing space to move things forward is "strings, crumbs and fodder".

A long time ago someone gave me some frames for 10 Happy Blocks - two 5 inch pieces and two 9 inch pieces of matching fabric.  I've kept the pieces in a baggie and decided I should empty that baggie. I decided I needed 25 blocks in pinks and blues for a small comfort quilt. 

I looked through my 2.5 inch width scraps for frames for 15 more blocks. 

Fodder

Then I looked through my 5 inch squares and 5 inch width strip pieces for center squares. 

Then I made blocks. 

And assembled a top. 

And sew on...

If it isn't one thing it's another. 

Our mailbox and the neighbor's mailbox were run over by something big last night. I picked the mailboxes up out of the ditch and left the neighbor's box near the posts. I put their very wet mail that was also in the ditch back in their mailbox and went into town very early this morning (6 am) to get a new mailbox and post.
