Mini-Block: Getting smaller & Smaller

 The mini-blocks are 3" x 3" when sewed together. Some pieces are smaller then other, making it difficult for my big fingers to sew them neatly, so I used a stiletto to push my fabric through the plate.  

I've set up a sewing room in our house with are rental with the bare necessities for quilting. The rest is packed and will stay packed until we purchase our next home.  But I'm thankful for the large window that brings alot of natural light in the bedroom. 

To gave myself accountability I wrote a schedule with weekly goals that are very achievable. At this point, I'm so distracted with our searched for a house that also drives us hours on the country side, which I don't mind, but it does take time away from other things that needs to be completed at home.

  Work on this block today. They are four smaller blocks inside that one block. Do you see it?

After my first attempt of sewing those nine pieced together and failed, I drew it on paper and made sure I sew them in the right way.

Mini-Blocks

 Catching up on the mini-blocks this week. Cut out all the pieces for each blocks  Each blocks has a different pattern, but most of the pattern have the same techniques: Half-squares, squares, rectangles. I'm hoping to sew them all next week.

 So much fun awaits me next week!

  The bullet journal keeps my recording on what was done since I started in 2020. As you can see, I'm way behind with the mini-blocks. What a good visual tool.

 I'm still making progress on my on Rosette #8 and has you can see in my bullet journal, there are not many rosettes left to work on.

For each hexagons I completed, I've crossed the box with the corresponding number of that hexagon. I'm slowly making progress for a person that doesn't work on it everyday, I'm still getting closer to my goal. 

We're looking at 3 houses today and we prayed and hoped that one of them will be suitable for our NEEDS, and not necessary for our WANTS. That's the hard part of it.

May God bless your week, and let's sew with joy!
