I've ironed out my flat spot

Firstly and most importantly - another and I think the final purple block. Oh, really, no more? No, no more but a huge total of guzumptymillion is probably more than enough!

This lovely block is from Andrea :

Actually guzumptymillion turns out to be SEVENTY TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is absolutely amazing. I have set out the blocks and just need to start pressing and stitching now. I'm so excited about how it is going to turn out. I'll keep you posed.

A sneak peak at piles of purpley fun....
And this was my therapy that got me over the tired hump and back to inspiration.
I turned this......

Into this!
Okay so not all of it but most of it. This is the Swell Nicey Jane that I picked out of the pile to iron. Doesn't it look pretty all pressed and folded. Love it!
I found the mundane-ness of ironing these a great way to refocus without making silly tired and permanent cutting mistakes. Thanks to all of you who wished me a good sleep and a brand new day :o)

  2. OMG - I spy my most favourite ever fabric in that messy pile of yours, it looks like you have heaps of it. It's the AB Charm Fairy Paisley in light blue - YUM!!!!

    72 blocks - excellent. What layout are you thinking of going with - 12 rows of 6???

    Glad you've ironed out your flat spot and are feeling inspired again.
