I spent a some time working on blocks for my Naked Bed Challenge quilt again yesterday and Tuesday, and I made some good progress! I now have 8 completed blocks and a few more in process (remember I only need 16 total). Here are some pictures I took yesterday:

(these ones aren't done yet)
I'm finding that it's easier to work on 3 or 4 blocks at a time than it is to work on just 2. That way I can set up to sew the next piece on a few blocks at a time instead of just one, and each time I go to the ironing board I'm pressing more than one as well.
I bought a fat quarter of gray Moda crossweave to see how I liked it, and it is going to be the sashing and border for this quilt! (You can see it in the top left block in the photo immediately above.) I ordered more yesterday and can't wait for it to arrive. I'm planning on another big sewing session today--going to spend some time cleaning the kitchen up first!

I love what you're putting together.
It's really bizarre to me that I have a hard time putting lots of prints together, but I ALWAYS love it when other people do it!
I just finished two front of wonky log cabin and so I've got a sweet spot in my heart for your squares.
They are coming together very nicely!
Isn't it amazing that something that (in theory) is free-style - no fussing with math or precision cutting - can still take so long?
Your quilt is going to be stunning when you get it all together. Will you be finishing it by the June 1 deadline? (I sure won't be finishing mine if I stay at the computer all day!)
Glad you and family were able to stay out of harms way. Not everyone was so blessed. Love those blocks!
Love the blocks you made! Your quilt is going to be very pretty!
the gray crossweave will look fab with these blocks!
