What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Sewing these 5-inch Cake Stand blocks is just as tricky as you'd imagine.  There's barely any wiggle room for mistakes or sneaky fixes. Once the quilt is done, those little uh-oh's will probably vanish like crumbs from a cake! 

Well as you can see my plan to lay this project away for a few days didn't last. You all understand, right?  After all the hard work of cutting and organizing how could I not piece together a few of the blocks.  So, Friday night I loaded up a design board of Cake Stand Blocks to be sewn.

 Making big scrappy quilts from small blocks can be challenging and it's easy to get discouraged or get tired of the processes.  I think that is perfectly normal and it's a good idea to take breaks and work on other things when feeling overwhelmed.  This quilt project was set aside for almost 4 months, and it may get pushed aside a few more times before completed.
