Internet Interruption

Well, that was fun. No internet for almost a week due to a huge storm last Tuesday night. Which is why I haven't blogged at all. I'll try to catch up as minimally as I can.

Isn't this a cute block?
I was going to make a whole bunch of these and then decided the block was not quite what I thought. I may rework it and go in a different direction (I don't like the 3D bottom of the ice cream on the cone).

Oranges and Lemons is together
And it's actually quilted, bound, and hanging on my chair already in the studio (see below). 
I made these two baby quilts for Hazels groomer
She's expecting twins and is having a hard go of it right now, so I'll give these two quilts to her when she reopens...in October or November. They still need to be quilted which I hope to slide in this week. 
Currently on the frame
This is the second of Micky's quilts in the last week. Forgot to grab a pic of the first one. 
Spools in a row
I received this free pattern in the mail enticing me to subscribe to Quiltmaker magazine. I decided to run one test block and fell in love with the ease of construction so put together three more yesterday. I'm going to raid the stash to get a bevy of colors in the quilt, which actually measures pretty decently at 66" x 81". Usually these cute blocks are like 'Make a million and you might get a throw size type of patterns.

I'll finish Micky's quilt today and get the next one on for Tina as it's kind of a rush quilt for a magazine (or something). I just know I can't sit on it for a long time and since I'll be gone all next weekend, I want to at least get it done before I go.
