a third down, plus

the fall colored liberty prints have been making their way into the wensleydale blocks since i've had them out for "bathsheba" and "farmer oak's flocks." these first two here have a variation of "betsy" in them, and the other two have some liberty also. still loving the mini project of one block a day, although it's not exactly been every day.

fifteen blocks done means i'm a third the way through this quilt top. i can start reusing fabrics i've already used but i still have so many pulled that i haven't used i'm not sure i'm going to do that. i guess i could always use the leftover cut pieces i currently have set aside for another quilt? there are a couple from jolene's book i could use to make some more fall quilts from the scraps if i don't choose to use them again in this one. i'll think on it. some of the fabrics i will for sure be reusing - the ginghams and checks i want to include in most blocks. did i say i was trying to use a floral in each block and a gingham/check in most if not all too? well, i am. as my ginghams are limited, i'll be using those on repeat.

this block has a few repeats because i have some miscut triangles from the other blocks that i'm trying to use up. i do like the colors in this one, but i didn't realize i'd used the same print in two different colors until i got to the outer rectangle and it was too late to go back. ah, well. i suppose it will get lost in the overall quilt and no one's going to fault me for it.

my foundation papers i ordered for jen kingwell's "trentham" quilt have arrived, and i've ordered the book. i'm unsure when the book will arrive because it still seems to be uncertain when it will be available in america. i'm in no hurry to start the next fpp quilt but i am anxious to see the book in person.

i may have ordered the foundation papers for "lamingtons with tea" as well. seems fpp has got a hold of me. but i will be doing one at a time on these.
