She requested blocks in blue,green, grey and black in a block devised Jera Brandvig of Quilting in the Rain blog. I decided to have a go.
Before I knew it by the afternoon I made 7 blocks.

Home Sweet Home Blocks
I've had a day's holiday from work today and it was a grim day, so what perfect weather for sewing. Yesterday I read Lily's Quilts blog written by Mary Emmens about Siblings Together charity and requiring some blocks for making boys quilts. More about it here.
Excuse the fuzzy pic. I started with a nine patch
The patches were cut diagonally and rejoined. I could now see why it was called Home Sweet Home block- see the house shapes? Yes, it took me a while!
I was able to pull out all sorts of fabrics, batiks, novelty, mottled fabrics. Made quite a mess of my stash, that'll need a sort out but it was a lot of fun. Shame I have to go back to work tomorrow.
