Stack & Whack Progress

I’m loving this quilt!  Here are the blocks I have made so far:

See the middle block in the middle row?  The center is off a little bit on two of the pieces.  I’ve debated taking it apart and fixing it and I don’t think I have enough fabric to do it . . they’re just cut wrong.  I could fussy cut two more pieces from the yardage I have here but that would be a pain.  It’s going to be a donation quilt and the little boo-boo probably won’t bother the recipient one bit but it’s driving me nuts!  I just need to get over it, right?

Yummy Purple Yarn

Our local yarn shop, J. Wray & Co., does a lot of their own dying.  In her newsletter earlier this week, she mentioned a hand dyed sock yarn that has superwash merino/silk/nylon and sterling silver!  I had to see it so I went over and this one came home with me.

You can’t see the sparkles too well in this picture but there are lots of sparkles. This will make a fine pair of socks!   And . . do you notice how well it matches that ugly bird fabric?  How do you think I would look in a pair of pants made from that bird fabric?  Don’t answer that!  Seriously . . it will not happen! :)
