Luckily some crafting has also been happening.... in an effort to de-stress and keep those grey hairs at bay 😂
Today I finished putting together the last 3 applique blocks for This Little Piggy. There is still blanket stitch to do... but such good progress!
I also finally decided to just DO IT! And started the FMQ on the There's A Square In There quilt... which has been basted and waiting patiently for inspiration for months!
I am using rulers to outline the cream background sections of the blocks and then filling them with a mixture of swirl and pebble quilting... depending on the size of the space.
It's been a while since I really did any FMQ and it shows! Trying to track over the top of previous stitching lines was a bit hit and miss but I do need to approach this as finished is better rather than perfectly unfinished.
I have quilted the first 4 blocks... and have an idea for the background/sashing between blocks but will come back to that once the blocks are finished.

Your quilting looks great from here! And as I say ... "better finished than perfect!" And the piggy quilt is SO cute! I love the colour palette you've chosen Suz!
Yes a very cute 'farmyard' quilt. The animals lok adorable! And your quilting looks amazing. I just can't seem to get the hang of fmq, but I keep trying!
