I like to juggle a few WiPs at any one time, and usually, this helps me manage my crazy attention span!
But there comes a time when I simply have to stop, sort, shift,
or just get it finished!
One mess quilt top I wanted to finish up was joining these TATW blocks. It's all straightforward patchwork, slow but immensely joyful. Each block is a new invitation to play with colour and pattern, see back here for earlier details.
... and I decided on a scrappy border for the win! Not only does it use up more stash, but it also ensures all those edges are secure & prevents the seams from unravelling. I've used a selection of bold greens, and I love how it holds in the beautiful bursting floral blocks.

I've also made another 'boardwalk' block too,
it's a repeat block design & great for using both big & small scraps ...
Hm-m- this one block a week idea won't last much longer, I'm having way too much fun!
And part of the big tidy up was some maintenance on my sewing machine.
Now & then Mr D kindly checks everything, including vacuuming out the dust bunnies.
OMG dare I confess, it must have been quite a while since the last time,
'cos look ...
