trying to get caught up

Here are the 9 patches I worked on yesterday. I got 16 finished and am still way behind. I have a total of 21 or 22. It's better but not caught up yet. I'll get there. I'm stippling the red, black, grey and white quilt too.
I have been having to clean my sewing room because my cat left me some surpises in my scrap bins! This is a wad of scraps that I had to wash and then throw out because they were sooooo tangled that I didn't even feel like bothering. Needless to say it has been a crazy morning in our household with the pets we own. If you don't own any pets I would suggest that you keep it that way!!!:) I do love my animals it's just they are a pain sometimes!!! Have a fantastic day!

  1. I love your blocks. I think I'll work on adding some more tonal blocks to my group.

  2. I am lovin' the 9 patch blocks, so vintage looking. I've been catching up with all your posts and they are all such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing all you do. Hugs, Heather

  3. I love your quilt blocks!

    I totally understand the pet thing. My 8 month old cat (read:mini-monster) will pick up a ball of yarn and walk away with it while I'm trying to knit. He chews on my fabric scraps. If I'm trying to cut fabric...forget about it. I've started zipping him up in his carrier when I sew. He just sits there happy as a clam and hangs out until I'm done.

  5. I love your blocks. I can totally understand about pets. Although I miss our Sassie, we won't be replacing her. So sorry the material was ruined.

  6. This is (one of the many reasons) why I don't have pets.
    Your 9-patches are looking great. How many more to get caught up? I've lost track.

  11. And I was thinking of getting a cat after seeing all my daily blogs with either cats or children (which I don't have either unless my nephew/nieces drops by).
