Schoolhouse Rock Rocks!

The Schoolhouse Rock top is finished and ready to baste and quilt! I love how the pencils march around the schoolhouses all ready to stand up and write! I'd better get busy and quilt this one in order to hang it up for the 1st of September since that is just a couple of days away!

I've been so busy working on my challenge blocks that I set the schoolhouse aside for a couple of days! The ideas for the challenge blocks came to me and haunted me until I finished them! Wish I could show you pictures, but since they're not due till October 1st, I can't! Last night as I was stitching on the applique one, Maynard reminded me, "The blocks are due October 1st, not September 1st!"


Seems like I don't like to let things go until the last minute, while others get the most done when there is a deadline facing them. Good thing we all work differently, isn't it or maybe nothing would get done!!!!

2 blocks of Schoolhouse Rocks!


Real Life intervened into quilting time today, but I did manage to get 2 blocks of Schoolhouse Rocks done! They cheer me up somehow with their happy prints and cheerful, bright windows. I've always leaned to the brights when I've picked out fabrics and maybe that's why making quilts for kids has been so much fun over the years! We are so fortunate to have so many resources for fabrics these days that sometimes it feels like "over-choice" (is that even a word?) to me and I simply can't make up my mind! Do any of you have that same problem? How lucky we are to have that problem and not have to wait for clothing to wear out before we can have fabric for a quilt!
