When one has lost all interest in feeding one's family (what? hungry again?!?) because making Farmer's Wife quilt blocks is so much more fun... well, you know you're fully addicted. I have other things I need to be sewing right now but I'd rather not, thanks. I'm liking the way these blocks look laid out together and I don't even mind that a few of them are all wrong...

This block used to have nice points, but then I realized it was much larger than the 9" blocks I'm making (9 1/2" unfinished), so I trimmed it down and voila! ~ a blunty point block, and somehow I don't mind. Just ask my husband, I normally would re-do this until I got it right but I've thrown accuracy out the window. Oh the freedom! When the quilt is done, who will know or care?

The block above was made completely wrong and I didn't do it on purpose. Some triangles should have been pink and some white, but I mixed them all up. I have no idea what I was thinking, but it doesn't matter now... the block is pretty, right?

I'm using my usual bright and pretty prints in candy colors, but I'm muting them down with calm background prints. I love seeing them all together... It works doesn't it?
But I don't get to sew all day ~ (darn). Sometimes you'll find me at gymnastics or the park... where I've slowly been embroidering this...
While keeping my eye on the little ones...
They look a little dreamy here, but in fact they were running around like hooligans, playing catch me.
And before I go, I wanted to mention... I've loved seeing the "cookies & milk" snack mats some of you have made, so let me know if you've made one, too! I've got to go feed my kids... ;)
