I, J...L, M, N, O, P, Q....T (and some flying geese and broken dishes and a pinwheel, too!)

This is one of those rare times that my design wall photo is actually of something on a wall. The directions for the last of the Little Letters blocks are up at  Temecula Quilt Company, which was just the little shove I needed to get back to work on my quilt. I'd set it aside after my letter "I" came out all wrong. Not sure what I did to the first one, but the second one is all nice and square. 

I want a pieced border to add to the antique sampler look, but I'm not sure if what I'm picturing in my head will work or not. 

The fabric I'm using is a black on dark grey that looks solid unless you're right on top of it. I'd bought a whole bolt when Joann's was closing one of their local stores to reopen in another location and it's been waiting for the right project. This isn't going to make a huge dent, but I'm glad I had it to use, and I don't mind having yards and yards left over. 

Sunday was a good day for piecing. A dozen or so Little Letters blocks and a bunch more of the red blocks for Chocolate Covered Cherries... Not what I'd planned on piecing, but that project derailed as soon as I took a good look at the pattern.

F, G, H....K

I was going to make my Little Letters blocks in order, but I jumped ahead because K is one of the ones I was fussing over. 

That gives me nine blocks out of twenty-six. I think that's farther than I got on the first incarnation of the alphabet sampler quilt! I used the postage stamp squares as leaders and enders, so I made some progress on that one too.

A B C D E

For a while now, I've been wanting to make an alphabet sampler quilt. My first attempt crashed and burned, but when I saw Little Letters from Temecula Quilt Company, I pulled my fabric back out and waited for them to start posting the instructions.

And then I forgot.

But, now that I've remembered again, I'm catching up!
