blocks

Baby K is amazingly good to me, but she is also very distracting.  She loves to snuggle and sleep against my shoulder, and I love to indulge her.  She's only a baby for so long after all.


I did pull myself away from my girlies for a couple hours and get some blocks done.  

This block is for the Simply Solids bee - it's off in the mail already.

These next two are part of the Skill Builder BOM.  They were both fairly simple to construct but they are striking all the same.



One thing I learned - starch is my friend.  
I never ever used starch before when sewing, only once for ironing and then I didn't like it.  But what a difference it makes!  The fabric is crisp and cuts so much more nicely.  
Seriously, if you haven't tried starch, try it.
