They still did not have the power restored. After calling all the parents to let them know I went to JoAnn's. I picked up a bulb and a spare. I looked at thimbles....hhhmmm...I don't know anything about thimbles. I had no clue what kind to get...do you have a favorite? Ideas? Your suggestions and recommendations are greatly appreciated.
I did buy a little bit of fabric. I have realized in making these blocks that a lot of my fabrics are Tone on Tones. I needed something white with pink and red in it. I found 2 fabrics that were perfect and bought just 1/2 yards of each.
Here are the blocks I made last night and so far today. I am probably going to make all the 12 inch blocks first because they are the easiest. I have 7 made so far, just 20 to go.
I won't post pictures every time I make a few, I just seem to be on a roll. These are so addictive that when I get this top made I'm thinking of doing one in brights to use up some scraps and stash.

What are you using the thimble for? I use a leather one for hand piecing and a cheapie Dritz thimble for hand quilting. You can post pictures of the blocks....they're pretty :0)

I use a Roxanne silver thimble I got at my local shop. I like it and it has a opening for your nail.
Pretty fabrics you got!
Have a nice weekend!
