I had a very productive day cutting True Blue strip sets.
All of the strip sets are cut now. It's time to arrange them around the blocks and see if I have enough.
I also trimmed a few of these half rectangle paper-pieced blocks for Lupines & Laughter (2025 Bonnie Hunter Mystery). Check out Bonnie's blog for info on that here. I am not very good at making this block. It is taking me longer than usual. The block assembly is pretty and something I don't often do, so it is worth it. I'll keep plugging away at them. There were no issues using my rotary cutter during my breaks at school.
I let out a little squeal of excitement when I walked into the art room -- I got to help the kids learn how to make stitches with big plastic needles and yarn on burlap pieces! This bin was waiting for me.
True Blue Sew Along--American Patchwork and Quilting put out a pretty tempting quilt along that starts 1/15/2026. It's called True Blue. You can get the details here.

I was tempted to jump into the True Blue sew along but I didn't. He's a beautiful quilt and I do have the blue tub out since Stonefields is also blue. I'll participate by admiring your blocks. I'm sure art class was especially fun with helping the children learn to stitch. I remember doing the same thing with my daughter's first grade class. Happy stitching!
Well that activity at school was right up your alley!
