    Do you guys ever get Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model (as we get the Aussie one on some obscure satellite channel, I'm assuming we might be returning the favour) if so, your hero is the newest member of the panel for the series that just ended here, so you could get a 12 episode overdose of her!

    Great minds think alike – no, not about Dannii Minogue, sorry! – I had only a smidgen of time to sew this last week and I went production line style by slapping my strips together first too. I did manage to get 2 more blocks put together but not to snap a photo. This week has been about trundling my MIL back and forth to hospital to visit my FIL and also to visit my sister in law in a different hospital on the opposite side of town (naturally). Shame you can't get frequent flyer miles doing this or I'd be going well! This week I might get some sewing time Wednesday (fingers crossed!). Photos to come!

    Great blocks. I'm not feeling behind. I'm just procrastinating = my style 🙂

    Oh I'm so behind 🙁 I really need to get on this cause these blocks are fantastic! Also, I used only a 6×24 ruler for my practice block and got along just fine 🙂

    Those are all amazing!

    MAN!!! Look at all that beauty! This quilt block reminds me of the Swoon quilt. It's hard to make an ugly one. The orange with black sashing is Awesome!!!! Love them all and the tutorial is great, martinis or not. You should go ahead and post it, since it's already written and photographed…see easy peasy! I am up to 16 out of 30 done and the strip sets does make it go faster. Off to sew I go.

    Gorgeous – love seeing some prints from my stash in your blocks, delighted that you've used that funny yellow batiky one that I got in a fugly swap! I'm delaying starting more blocks until your strips arrive – that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

    Lots of fabulous blocks there. it's lovely to see them all progressing. I too made a yellow block last week so there will have to be pink this week, along with finishing the red that is almost done. Working in volume is defintiely the best way to sew these blocks although I find it takes a little extra orginisation, especially when there are a few bubbles being drunk. So I'll toast your martinis with my bubbles and get back to my machine.

    Hi Mollii (yes, the new spelling!)

    I'm not a little bit behind, I'm a lot bit behind. Think of me as you're hoisting another martini, please? 🙂

    Dearest Mollii (you should have done that ages ago!) – I found that working the blocks factory style made them go super fast since you can chain piece. I would do 4 blocks at a time, and do each step for each block as i went.
    Also, I thought I was the only one who had heard of Dannii! I listened to her quite a bit in my unemployed days. (I'm not sure what that says about either of us.)

    I figured out how to add my photo…and that I need to lay off the wine before hopping on the computer. Ignore the bad lighting and let me know what you think!

    Ah…Molli…with one OR two i's…you DO bring a smile to my face! I only got 3 blocks finished and head out on vacation next week. It's okay tho. I'll catch up!
