Two days progress

If I had bothered to post yesterday this is all I would have had to show for Monday. Mom and I went to see a friend's new house and I was late getting to sewing. I was so excited to get the first 2 moth blocks together when I saw that I swapped the antennas on the moths. I just turned off the lights and let it alone until yesterday. It was an easy and quick fix but I just wasn't in the mood.
​

After the block is made it gets triangles added to each side. The design is kind of genius because you don't have to worry about the seams being perfect. Once you sew the corner triangles on the block is then trimmed down to 10" square so it's a very forgiving pattern. 
​

I settled in for lots of sewing yesterday afternoon and I got all of the moth blocks done and trimmed before I headed out for a neighborhood zoning meeting. these blocks are so cute! I'm so glad I decided to make this quilt.

My neighborhood meeting was about a neighbor wanting to subdivide their 10 acre lot into 2 lots (8 and  and 2 acres) so their daughter could build a house. Normally in this part of the county you could not subdivide a 10 acre lot but their lot used to be divided into 2 properties anyway so they are just setting it back to the way it once was. No one had a problem with it. I just love living in this neighborhood. We used to have one really cranky neighbor but he died several years ago. Now everyone else is lovely.
​

I am still making progress on the poncho and I still love it. I try to do two rounds every morning after breakfast when the natural light is good. It takes a lot longer now, there are over 230 stitches on a round now and about every 10 rows it goes up another 21 stitches. I'm getting near the end of the second ball and will probably use one more. I have enough for another project, I way overbought!

Today I just have some yard work and a run to Costco and then I can get on with the leaf blocks for the quilt.
