So despite all the blah feelings of late and the fact I've got lots of other things I should be doing, I have managed to make some progress on my hand pieced Green Tea and Sweet Beans quilt.
Here are my 2 Lozengers blocks:
Not sure why I jumped ahead to do those but I'm going to do the blocks in order as they appear in the pattern book because I think it will help me keep track of where I'm up to.
I've got lots more of these to do but here's my first 3 Propellar blocks:

Those of you familiar with the pattern will notice the block on the left is wrong, yes I didn't keep my template the right way up - despite clear instructions in the pattern to do just that!! I'm not re-doing it though, this will be one of those cute quilty errors.
Here's my progress so far, I'm loving it:
I also managed to (belatedly) get my October bee blocks sent off to Catherine. I love log cabins and this was just the fun kind of machine sewing I needed :) I hope you like them Catherine!

This is looking very pretty!
Oh, I love it when there is a cute quilty error - so much more personality is in the quilt then. :)
I really need to start the Green Bean Sweet Tea quilt - I am loving yours :)
Just make some more the 'wrong' way round and arrange them to look deliberate, and it will no longer be an error, but an individuality! problem solved!
Every quilt needs a touch of our own individuality! Make more than one pinwheel spinning in the opposite direction and it won't be a mistake! Your blocks are lovely!
Awesome blocks, especially the backwards propeller block. I love those types of quirks in quilts.
Love the idea of a quilty error. I make them a lot.
lovely progress x
Love the cute little quilty error, you've made good progress..... I have to admit that I've given up hand piecing mine!
Your Green Tea blocks are looking so lovely! and hand pieced too, I'm impressed. Is the whole quilt hand pieced? Linda
Your blocks are coming along nicely! This is going to be a beautiful quilt, Lucy! Oh and I would never have noticed the errant propeller block.
I just ordered 6 cones of aurifil from fqs and a stunning log cabin quilt kit. I love fqs!
It's going to be so pretty
Absolutely LOVE your propeller blocks. They look fab! The coordinated scrappy look is pefect.
I will enjoy watching your green tea and sweet beans progress. I wouldn't have noticed the quilty error if you hadn't said. I don't know if I'd have the stamina to hand sew it all though. Good luck!
Love that progress board!
Lots of lovely blocks there :o)
