Not much sewing machine work happened last week.
But I spent several hours at the cutting table. These should be enough units for the Scrappy Meets Thrift Challenge to keep me in mindless sewing for a while. Each pile is approximately 10 blocks.
I also got the fabric for the alternate blocks cut into strips and ready for sub-cutting into 2 ½ inch squares.
This is one of those times I really appreciated my die cutter.
We had some rain in the past few weeks, and we could tell that enough dirt had washed into the skunk hole that it was not active. I filled in as much dirt as I could. Then I layered old gutter guard webbing and weighted it down with concrete chunks and rocks. It’s not pretty, but is positioned between the AC unit and house wall, so well hidden.

You did a lot of prep for the quilt... love to see all well organized...
Your cutting is so organized, and those pieces are really pretty. I'm looking forward to seeing this one in progress. Your tomatoes look yummy! I'd say that's a good investment. Is that a literal "skink" hole?
It's good to spend a day cutting and prepping for long stretches of stitching. I need to do that soon.
Your tomatoes look good. That is about the size most of my tomatoes will be. I like the smaller variety because they ripen sooner and give a steady stream of fruit.
I see I am not the only one getting tomatoes in - I am hoping I won't have an excessive amount this year - last year was too much - I still have five jars of sauce to use and here we are starting all over again this year.
