Two For One

When making blocks for our guild's Block of the Month, I usually make two - one to turn in for the block lotto and one to keep with the idea of making an annual BOM sampler.

April's block is perfect for this habit because we are making Monica's Funky Wrench Nuts and Bolts, and following Monica's instructions you end up with two blocks, the Nut and the Bolt.

I knew right away that I wanted to use Malka's Stitch in Color fabrics for these April blocks.  This is the first time I've cut into them, and I can't wait to use them again.

I finally have another 36-patch block to add to my collection.  I switched to piecing these following the Leader Ender method while working on other projects so it's slow going.

Here are the eight 36-patch blocks I have so far.

One more shot of the latest 36-patch block.
I kind of like the combination of scissors and pink high heel shoes ;-)
