This has been a great week.
I have been able to be in the studio every day so far. My first completion was the first Henrietta Whiskers block. Now, this isn’t really complete since I haven’t stitched the applique down yet, but I can see how cute it is already.
When that was done I completed making the backing for this quilt. The lighter printed fabric is really border fabric but I just couldn’t bear to cut it up. So I added the center panel and put additional borders of it on the sides. And, I was going to load it on the frame when I heard that the Red Snappers I had ordered from Renae Haddadin were going to be coming next week. Well, that gave me permission to put it off so I don’t have to pin 102” x 2. I am really looking forward to having an easier way to load a quilt.
So, with some time on my hands I decided to begin working on the BOM from my LQS. We are making blocks from Eleanor Burns’ Underground Railroad book. And, since we
are making 15 blocks, we are making 2 a month for the first three months. So here are my first ones done. I am making mine in batik since I don’t much like civil war fabrics. These went together really easily: I hope they all do. So, what are you doing?

I like the double churn dash. That's new to me.
Love your Henrietta! Great fabric choices and very autumnal:)
Love all the blocks. And they match you blog background perfectly.
