This week I've been trying to keep up/ catch up with the quilt along. I finished two birthday blocks #13 and #14 so I am caught up for now.  2 Modern Cityscape blocks #11 And #12 or so I thought but I assembled the pieces in the wrong order .. and now with the correct arrangement... And 2 blocks (March ones) for the  Ravenbrook Scrap Quilt Along Linking to  D esign  Wall Monday ,  Midweek Makers ,  Wednesday Wait Loss ,  Needle and Thread Thursday ,  Put your foot down ,  Off the wall Friday ,  Can I  get a Whoop Whoop ,  Patchwork and Quilt ,  Céline 

  With a quarter of the year already gone, it is a good time to take stock of my progress (or rather lack of!) on my UFOs...

  I can't quite believe that the first quarter of the year is over and this is not even an April's fool... I hope that with lighter evenings there might be more time and energy to sew but equally I thinnk the month will be rather busy with lots of activities, a week long business trip etc so I am not sure how much time I'll manage to steal in the end...

  March has been quite busy with some holidays, a big birthday, still a lot of stress as we are continuing to try to move house and of course quite a lot of work.  I have tried to steal some sewing time to face the chaos! I have also spent a lovely afternoon learning to make a yummy and beautiful cake with my mum Only one finish this month with the tote bag for my friend's birthday.
