Judy's June mystery-step #1; Buckeye Beauty swap blocks

I pieced together the "units" for the Buckeye Beauty Swap I'm participating in. We are asked NOT to sew the units together beyond this point because of the numerous ways they can be matched up in all variety of patterns...

HEY! I'm ahead of the ballgame with this swap!!! They don't need to be mailed until July 15th.

Cassie had a dentist appointment today {{I did too, but decided to reschedule it due to the Poison Ivy on my face...} Knowing I was to be sitting in a wait-area for 30+ minutes, I decided to cut into the fabrics chosen for Judy's June Mystery. Prior to leaving for the appt, I cut all the strips needed for step #1 {{I'm going to cut fabrics as the clues come out}}. Then I took a travel cutting mat and the strips along to do all the subcuts. I even was able to do most of the diagonal-line drawing needed to complete step one.
Tonight, I chain-sewed the 3.5" squares to make the 72 HST's, but haven't cut them apart yet. Tomorrow, I hope to finish all of step #1

Two "couples" of goldfinches were outside our window this morning, battling over this feeder; the victorious couple looked mighty satistified {little did they know that the other two just beebopped over to our other feeder}}.

Thursday is almost over. Hope yours was a lovely as mine! Here's to Friday!!! I FINALLY don't need to leave the house!!! I can stay in my jammies for as long as I want and veg. Although, I will probably get outside a bit to weed some of the strawberries. The garden still looks great; so far, I'm staying ahead of the weeds!!!!

  1. I'd love to be able to entice goldfinches into our garden; there are plenty just up the lane so I just need to work out what they like to eat then perhaps they'll visit. Why is it that weeds grow faster and more prolifically than the vegetables?
