10 Minute Block...

 I am such a creature of habit.  I see a tutorial of something I like or am inspired by and think I would love to make that...some day.  So into the tutorial folder it goes.  And then it sits.  I never seem to get back to that folder nor do I ever seem to make any of those wonderful things.  I must do it right then or forget it.  But...this time I kept a link in my red urgent box.  Come on...10 minutes?!
We all know of Suzanne McNeill if we have been in the crafting world for any length of time.  She is a wizard of all things crafty and sewing/quilting.  Here is her link to 10 Minute Quilt Squares.
Here are two that I made not to her sizing but out of some squares of fabrics I already had in my stash.
 

 Really?  Yes!  Only 10 minutes and here are my quilt squares.  I finished the centers with her suggestion of the Cathedral design and stitched the bias of the square inward.  I love the look.  Fast and simple and easy.  That is my kind of project.  These will make good pillow toppers...except that I have no rooms that allow for these fabrics or colors.  I could finish them into pillows and donate them to a charity which is exactly what I think I will do.  These quilt squares would also make fun book or binder covers.  Maybe for a quilt class you are taking and need to keep your notes in a notebook.

Here is a close up of the center.  This one is machine stitched however you could also hand stitch this for a softer more hand-finished look.  That would take more than 10 minutes though.
Now don't you want to try this 10 Minute block?  Small or large they are super simple and fast to make.  Thank you Suzanne McNeill for being such a genius in our creative world.
Our weather is cooler and definitely feeling Fallish.  The past two days Mr. C and I have spent all daylight hours cleaning up the property.  He chain sawed a couple of trees down and then split the wood and stacked it in the wood shed. Tons of weed-wacking and picking up of fallen tree debris.  Raking numerous piles of pine needles, leaves, trimming debris, acorns and what ever else is on the ground.  Loading the pickup truck to overflowing we have made three trips to the dump today alone.  Exhausted and filthy I am looking forward to a wonderful shower and relaxing evening.  We still have fire season and terrible drought so doing all this cleanup of the property is a very good thing.  Less fire fuel for certain.
My head is filled with thoughts of the upcoming gifting and boutique season.  My Zumba studio will be hosting a boutique and I signed up to have a table of gift items for sale.  My Merry Mystical Muse will need to get busy.  This weekend I better make my Halloween Swap Tags and get them in the mail.  The days are passing very fast.
Creative Bliss to each of you my clever friends...
