This has been a very demanding week of deadlines, parenting and very early mornings. Mama needs a break.
Even though I've got a million things on the go and my priority should be finishing finishing at least a half dozen of them I decided that the best stress relief was to start a new project. Makes perfect sense.
Amanda Jean's 36 patch quilt along perfectly fits the bill for me. These are easy blocks for me, almost mindless. I had a stack of fabrics sitting there leftover from another project, and a recent discovery that these colours are those exact ones for a needed wedding gift. And done.
Only 32 more blocks and two more big deadlines to go.

It is wonderful to do some mostly mindless sewing from time to time - so relaxing!
I love these blocks! They look like just what I need right now. I didn't know there was a quilt along going on, but I might have to put this on my "list". :)
Great blocks. I agree that a new project can often bring just the right stress relief. There's something refreshing about it. Good luck on your deadlines. :)
These 36-patch blocks have been very therapeutic for me as well. Good luck on the deadlines!!
mindless..no. hypnotic? maybe. I'm glad you're taking a break from things to do something you love!
This block very nice. I agree that a new project can often bring just the right stress relief.Thanks for sharing.
I've been doing some mindless hand quilting the last two days. But my stress is done and now it's time to relax for a few days, before I give myself a new stress to procrastinate over. :) Good luck with those last two deadlines!
very very nice work and lovely colours
Amen for easy projects to help off set the crazy challenging things in life.
Your 36 patch is looking lovely.
Stress relief is a great motivation for doing those blocks. They sing. I'm doing the same qal and finding my blocks the perfect antidote to the end of summer blues.
I'm with ya on just doing something simple. I started a million new projects.
What's that grey fabric?
