It's been a productive week and I'm happy I managed to sew anything with the crazy kids around!
I finished this Bee A Brit Stingy row for Nicky. The blocks are Castle Walls by John Q. Adams from the book Fat Quarterly Shape Workshop for Quilters

I switched out the arrangement of grey / white squares so the row would have more movement, which Nicky requested.
Also managed to finish two more hand pieced flower blocks for my green tea and sweet beans quilt:
I adore that little Cocoland cat!
The next block is clamshells, which I have never done before. I'm going to do needle turn appliqué because I'm feeling brave. Here's my fabric pull for the clamshells:
Wish me luck!

Your row looks awesome! Love the fabric choices for the clamshell.
Your 'castle wall' blocks look great... love the colours! And your flowers are very cute, really like the way you fussy cut the AMH fabric! Good luck with the clamshells, keep us posted on progress!
You want need any luck with the clamshells but if you want an incredible tutorial, Mary @ Molly Flanders has one on her blog! I'd never done them before when I was doing my "Small Town" quilt but really enjoyed the experience after following her method! I hope the crazy kids enjoyed the ice cream sundaes?
Fabulous blocks Lucy!
All your work is so fun to see :)
No, you do not need luck, you are there!
Smashing flowers and love the black cat lol
I really enjoy seeing your blocks for your special quilt, I am looking forward to seeing it all finished. There are so many gorgeous fabrics and all of the hand sewing will make it a wonderful heirloom. x
Beautiful projects. Your hand pieced flower blocks are so cute!
Lovely bee blocks and cute flowers too. I messed up the last row of my clam shells as I forgot that the tail bits still show!
Love the row for Nicky!
Those castle walls blocks look great and I love your green tea and sweet beans blocks. Every time you make some I think I'll really have to buy that pattern :)
I came to see your fabric choices for the FW quilt but then saw your stunning tow for me - so excited to get my hands on these soon! I'm sure your GT&SB is going to be gorgeous - looking forward to seeing it
