I was inspired to pull out some pieces and PLAY. I went for a little more than 15 minutes but I had fun. I have "little ones" for the rest of the weekend and most of next week, so I won't get to do anymore sewing most likely.
Here are my play pieces. Only one of them is a full block but the other pieces will be added to and become bigger another day.
For three of them, I cut up a big four patch and sewed it onto corners and a side. That will add some cohesion when they all go into the same quilt later.
I hope your 'quilting weekend' is being fun and/or productive.

I took a class with Victoria last summer when I won a scholarship at Quilting by the Lake. She is awesome and her book is terrific. I keep going back to it as a reference. I have some of the quilts made this way on my blog.
Saori quilting! Who woulda thunk it?!
I did some quilting decades ago --- a couple of bed sized quilts, a few wall quilts. I still have a pieced quilt top tucked away in a dresser drawer awaiting it's filling and backing.
fun blocks Gene I remember years ago my Mom went to a quilt retreat and it was quilting in this manner-totally out of her comfort zone but she had fun with it
Very neat, and as always, colorful!
I too took in some of the Quilt Show episodes. More on the plate for me today.
I love the results of your playtime! Have fun with the little ones!
Hi Gene! Fellow Alabamian here - just wanted to pop in and say Hi and share support for a fellow Alabama artist. Your quilts are stunning!
Nice blocks, Gene. I worked on machine embroidery for National Quilting Day...those machine embroidered blocks will end up in a quit so that should count.
That is what I love about you Gene...you just go for it and add your own twist and style....love it!
