The Eyes have It

I wanted to start working on my sow-a-long and made one block, using my favorite pink/browns. Once I finished the block,  I realized the brown has 2 big eyes staring at me! VBG. I made another one with different fabric in case I got tired of getting The Eye from my own block. That's surely a Contrary Wife, I'll say (block #21).




I'm sewing this afternoon with my friend Claire, so I'm excited about that. I'm still unpacking from the retreat, trying to find everything. I'm missing all my little leader-ender bow-ties I made. UGH.

hope everyone has a great day today!

  5. I'm a late joiner-inner. Lori mentioned your quilt-along, AKA Sow Along, and I'm getting up the courage to join in. I have an unfinished Dear Jane, I'm just starting a Round Robin at our local quilt guild, I volunteered to make a retirement quilt for our boss and already have $$$ from co-workers, I have boxes of UFOs and tops to be quilted, and here I am, ready to commit to your quilt-along. Oh well, I need the push and I've had the book for a year. I'm up for the challenge. Lead on!!!!!

    BTW -- love those eyes. I think I see sliced olives :)
    Now, I'm off to our local Staples to have my book spiral bound.

  6. Oh my, I really like both of your blocks. Eyes and all. Hope you find those bow tie blocks. It would be a shame if they didn't turn up. They were so darn adorable. Keep plugging away at those FW blocks, before you know it, you'll have half done.
