I've made myself work on Big Cypress Quilters quilt-along blocks. It's a design meant to be made with a jelly roll or two, but since I've never owned a jelly roll (and don't want to start now), I thought to cut all the pieces individually, from scraps. Thus far, these are the 11 blocks, 12" X 12" (finished) I've piece. I have 9 more cut and ready to piece. 
I've also half-heartedly begun working on my Central Florida MQG "Pick a Decade" Challenge. I started strong with the single "atomic-looking" block, and have futzed on a few occasions with machine appliquéing other 1950s shapes. Inspiration for this project is sorely lacking.
Instead I've continued to round loom knit, making two preemie caps, and another Comfort Doll.
I've also continued to diamond paint, though I hit a big stop last Friday. When I went to Diamond Painting Club. I was stunned to realize I'd diamond painted the sun, and it was completely PINK! Friends verified I had chosen and used the correct drill colors, according to the key.
A side-by-side examination of the advertised painting, and my efforts thus far, reveal the difference. The mistakes are on the canvas, and I'm missing all the drill colors of the sun.
As you can see, I'm nearly half-way finished with it!
Why did this happen to me?! It the very first diamond painting kit I ordered! I'm feeling sick about the 20 hours of painting (at least) I may have wasted. Assuredly, I'm not happy about this, and am in communication with the company. I expect a fix or a refund.
Perhaps this is a good reason for me to stick with sewing! Linda
