Thanks so much for stopping by. Today’s my day for the April Showers Blog Hop Challenge hosted by Joan of MooseStash Quilting. The challenge was to make something having to do with showers for example, baby showers, wedding showers, or the like. Since no one I know is having any showers, I went with rain showers.

“Give It A Whirl”blog hop challenge was to make a pinwheel project. I was excited about this one cause I really wanted to make pinwheel blocks. I like energy and movement these blocks have.
I ended up not having the time to sew that I thought I would. I did get some blocks made and will continue to work on quilt top in the days to come.

The challenge for this Blog Hop was to sew up a PIG’s – Projects In Grocery sacks, UFO – Unfinished Project or a WIP – Work In Project. WIP’s I don’t have any but UFO’s there are plenty. Actually, around 30 I think. Now, that may not sound too bad to some quilters. As far as I’m concerned that is way too many. I live in an apartment now and don’t have the room to be storing UFO containers. All my UFO’s need to be sewn up and quilted. When I noticed the gals were hosting a Sew It – Show It challenge for PIG’s, UFO’s & WIP’s, I decided to join since I had a UFO up on my flannel wall already. Why not, I hadn’t joined in a challenge since last year.

When Carol at Just Let Me Quilt posted for sign up’s I chose to join because I wanted a reason to make these hourglass blocks. I haven’t made to many and I’ve had some trouble with them in the past. So I decided to give them another try.
Making the blocks, I paper pieced them hoping to give myself a chance to be more on point with the blocks. It did help a lot.

Joan of MooseStash Quilting, challenge of making something inspired by polar bears, blue, or cold got me to thinking about my Wooly Adventure blocks. They needed to be moved from the WIP’s pile to the working pile. This hop was a good time to do just that.
These wooly blocks are from 2016. So that’s like 6 years ago. Long time. Only two of the blocks are still available from the research I did. Most of the blocks were 8″ in size but a few were 10″. The backgrounds that came with the kits varied and didn’t work well together. Because I wanted to put them in a quilt, that was a problem for me. So I decided to just them on coordinating flannel backgrounds and use a cream flannel to border the 8″ squares to sew up to the 10″ blocks.
