Just to let you know my posts are a few days behind. This post will go up on Sunday but it's really Friday. This is just a little easier for me to get some posts done.
So today I pieced 19 more Garlic Knot blocks. This makes a total of 80 so far. Now I need 40 more and then I will sew them together. Planning on 10 blocks across and 12 blocks long, then I will add a border. I'm thinking that this will give me the size that I want. I will put it on the bed and if it's not big enough then I will just add another row of blocks.
I'm loving how fast these sew up. A good use of 2" squares and strips.
While sewing these blocks today I also pieced one more Scrappy Star block. I'm just sort of using it as a leader/ender for now.
I sewed most of the day and cleaned the house a little. LOL! Richard worked and Hunter cut the grass. Tomorrow probably will not be a "sew day" as I have a bunch of cucumbers that I need to make pickles with. Then on Monday we will be digging up the potatoes!

I'm looking forward to seeing how your garlic knots go together. I think I've finally figured out how you made the blocks. My daddy always had a big garden, and we always had lots of potatoes and my mother always made pickles too. Wish I had some today! Have a happy Sunday!---"Love"
love your blocks I have been thinking of the star block that you have going but I have too many going right now and a couple finishes before I get started on another.
I wish I could figure out gardening down here. I had luck last winter but the spring/summer heat and working mornings just killed it this year... again. Must till it down and try again soon. I wish I could get cucumbers to grow down here so I could make pickles. Maybe this fall? So far only peas, beans, scallions work in the garden. Tomato, peppers and lettuce in pots. Maybe I should just have Aidan garden for me... he has a green thumb.
Your garlic knots are lovely.
