Technically.....

 

......I haven't yet reached the end of 'the100dayproject', however, I was enjoying it so much that I got a bit ahead of myself, so, a week earlier than it should be completed, here is my 100 mini blocks of plant life all put together.

It makes a wall hanging 25" square, backed with an 'on theme' floral fabric, and is now hanging at the back of a wardrobe ( I want it to stay flat and dust free until April next year when I plan to give it away!).

Project complete!

Books!

I have been sewing - just not very much!  Some weeks are like that, with other tasks (or rest!) taking priority.

I have, however, been spending my pocket money on a couple of books that I thought I'd share.

They only arrived yesterday, so no reviews on them from me yet....


This first one is one that I'm going to use as a regular 'palette cleanser' - where I will use some of my scraps, a coherent background, and time between projects to make a block or two until I've worked through the book.  Or at least, that's what I'm thinking I'll do.

This one is to give inspiration for small projects - it might not have much that is completely new to me, but sometimes it's nice just to pick up someone else's pattern to (again!) use up a few of my accumulated scraps!

Even more plant life!

The next ten blocks - 61 to 70!

Some of them are fast to do - the freehand machine one are very fast once you have the idea - but sometimes the paper pieced ones seem to take a while, but perhaps that's because my brain is on a bit of a go slow when I'm doing things in reverse!

Let's see what I come up with for the final 30 blocks!

Back to More Plant Life!

My next ten mini blocks for my 100 day challenge!

These are blocks 51 to 60.  Over half way!

I'm still enjoying these!  It's nice having a good stack of these 3" blocks!
