Sewing Schnibbles

Today I'm working on my May Schnibbles "Gentle Art" using charm packs of Bonnie and Camille's Marmalade line. I'm feeling quite distracted so am making my blocks in groups of 5 to keep my attention from wandering off. Some days my mind seems to race with thoughts and I just need to slow it down - breaking a task in smaller tasks allows me to at least get something done in my quilting room. Do you have these kind of days too?

I need to decide which prints to buy some yardage of which is not easy in this pretty line. I just noticed that I have the cabbage rose prints on the top of each pile - can you tell I love big florals? The tangerine is calling my name!
The first batch of 5 are pressed and done. I was having too much trouble trying to pair up these fabrics so settled on one neutral background, I'm sure I'll find a good use for the lighter charms in another project.
Tucker was enjoying the view last night as the sun started to set. He is an inside cat and LOVES having the screen porch to watch the world from. If I can't find him in the house all I have to do is start unlocking the porch door and he suddenly appears.
Love how he is silhouetted by sunshine!

    What color background is between the rose and teal cabbage rose pieces? They are all so pretty I wouldn't know which to pick either - altho I agree the tangerine is very pretty. At least you have an easy way to find Tucker - I have no such trick for my 3...

    This is going to look lovely. I went for a plain cream background too.

    Your blocks look great and the fabric is lovely. I can understand why your cat wants to sit there when the view is so lovely.

    I like the tangerine as well! Tucker looks quite handsome with the sun shining on him in that window! My babies want me to get with it and get the pollen cleaned off of our screened porch so they can partake in some fresh air and sunshine. I hope they don't see this picture of Tucker!! LOL

    It does seem you like big florals and pretty spring-like colours.
