Our busy weekend is going ahead as planned, though I’ll admit I almost wished for rain this evening. We’re due to head out to an outdoor concert this evening, and while the forecast looked a bit dodgy, it seems the weather is going to behave after all.

My chores were dispatched in short order this morning, which meant I could head to my sewing room for a couple of hours play this afternoon. I’ve been slipping in there before work all week and found I could comfortably make two complete blocks in the time I had, so there really wasn’t much left to finish today.
And finish I did — I sewed up a storm and completed the last of the 5×7 colourful blocks.
Next up was cutting a stack of black strips to sew onto the long sides of the colours. I didn't cut all of them as I was eager to get the first few on straight away.
While I've been putting these blocks together, I’ve been fossicking through my thread collection and pulling out bits and pieces of pinks and blues. I managed to use up a few odds and ends along the way.
Now it’s time to cook some tea and then head out the door. With a bit of luck I’ll get another chance to sew tomorrow, though Joe and the family will be here for Sunday lunch, so we’ll see how the day unfolds.

Blocks looking great. Hope it stayed dry for the concert. xx
Enjoy your concert. Blocks are looking good!
You have been busy. Doesn't the black sashing change the look of the blocks. Quite striking.
Hope the concert went well.
Absolutely love the colors in this quilt. Sally probably just wanted a spa day.
you're building my vocabulary again - i had no idea that fossicking is a real word with a real definition (unlike fumblefarting which is NEITHER, although i use it a lot) ... and TEA - my colorado brain was trying to imagine cooking tea cuz tea in gawdscountry is a hot or iced drink, not a meal - sheesh, we really are backwards around here...
The black surrounds look great
Our outdoor event was wet - but at least it was warm wet! It's a good feeling finishing up bits of cottons and bobbins...

The blocks look amazing Lou. Hope your evening out went well.
The quilt is coming together so well. Isn’t it satisfying finishing off spools and bobbins. Well done.
