INBETWEEN THE CHALLENGES

I have been working on two items these last few weeks that require a good deal of concentrated attention.  I can only manage them for an hour or so then find I must do something a bit more mindless to clear the cobwebs.  I dug around my UFO's and discovered two quilt tops waiting for my return.  One actually had all the blocks completed and some even sewn together.  So time to lay it out on the guest bed and take a stab at it. 

My Blithe quilt.  I love this Fleet & Flourish by Maureen Cracknell.  I actually have a smaller quilt in these fabrics hanging in our dining room with larger triangles that I actually quilted myself.  This top went together very quickly so time to work on the second one waiting for completion. 

My Bubble Bath quilt.  The pattern is by Kelly Young and I used my Curiosities fabric by Jeni Baker.  I love the white bubbles fabric, a Moda by Bonnie & Camille.  Wish I had more of it, but sadly it is no longer available.  This is just a part of one side of the quilt.  I have been constructing it one section at a time.  Most the blocks were complete, but I find for some variety I have had to make a few more of those little guys in some of the prints I originally did not think I needed.  
The change of pace has helped and I am still getting back for an hour or so each sewing day to that Fall Leaf appliqué project and my Double Wedding Ring.  These two are still works in progress, but likely to be complete before I manage the more complicated items.  So I'll just link these guys up with:
