Around the Block 2 Update.

I recently received this amazing block from Amy for the Around the Block 2 swap. Love, love, love it Amy! Perfect! Thank you!!

It inspired me to get out the scraps from AJ's blocks and the scraps I had from making up the bundles to sew this one.

And all put together so far it looks like this! These were just plonked on the floor randomly, looking at the photo now the middle row of all big squares disturbs me, but other than that, looking good!

Today is a big day in this house. Today is my last Friday in a very long time that will be mine. In the past I have always had Friday off, even when they went to family day care, the girls went on a Friday, it was my day. The job I have fallen into up here at the school luckily continued that tradition and it was Monday to Thursday. But things are changing. On Monday I start full time employment. No more Fridays for sewing or sitting on the computer or watching Glee eating musk sticks. On the plus side I suppose its only till the end of the school year.........

Oh! Forgot to say how much I love all of your bee blocks laid out like that - the big squares look amazing all relating to each other with little paths of the med and small ones inbetween. I much prefer it to many bee quilts I've seen with pieced blocks surrounded by huge swaths of solid background, leaving the blocks looking all lonely and disconnected.
