Block #91 – Less than 10 blocks left! How did that happen? It is taking more brain power to cut these last blocks since the Haiku chapter means there are not many repeated shapes, but by this point it really is second nature, right?
Block #92 is one of my favorites because it is perfect for highlighting some fussy cutting. I fussy cut a moon from a Nightshade favorite of mine and added some shot cottons.
Block #93  makes me happy because I finally have some Acacia making its way into my quilt! I was calling this block Raccoon Hidey hole and I am so in love with the tonal teal print around the outside and how just the little scrap on the top adds to the design.
3 more blocks down. Almost there!
*********
Block #94 is another great way to frame a fussy cut square or to make use of a larger scrap. I have a lot of this Salt Water coral orange in my quilt since there was not much orange Tula in my stash so I think this block will fit in nicely.
Block #95 I had double the fun fussy cutting the moons for this block and decided I may as well have two.
Block #96 This big lime block may stick out like a sore thumb in my quilt top, but the meteor print is one of my favorite so I don’t think that will bother me. I was happy to be able to sneak in a little more Acacia too.
Here are all 3 blocks together. Only 4 more left!
I do not yet have my sashing and border fabric, but I did start putting my blocks up on my design wall. I could not wait any longer. I am tempted to put it all up, but since I don’t have the sashing fabric I am waiting, but so far I am really loving the way it looks!
