I hope all of you here in the states had a Happy July 4th yesterday and that my friends in Canada enjoyed their celebration of Canada day on Friday. The hubs went out of town with his family the weekend so I had the house all to myself. I didn't do as much sewing as I would have liked and the time I did have I spent mostly working on more little blocks for this quilt along. Funny how that happens, these little blocks are so addictive. So I have more than two to show you today but I figure this will get me off the hook one week when I don't have time to make any.

I was having a little bit of trouble with the blocks I made from the templates turning out just a smidge too small. I ended up listening to my mom who suggested I move my needle and make a scant 1/4 inch seam. Personally I like to sew with a true quarter inch seam and usually I am okay with that because it is consistent but since I made some of the blocks with out using the templates I decided that they all needed to square up to finish at 6 inch blocks.
Oh to have the house to myself for a weekend! Good progress!
