In between watching the sad Packer game today I managed to sew, iron, subcut and sew the rest of the Floribunda blocks.
Eventually I had a box full of four patches and hst's waiting to become blocks! I am quite happy with my progress on this one since there are eight or so blocks total. 23 are blocks and the rest will soon be!
I also spent some time tonight trying to make Marmalade Squares from Moda Bake Shop. I love the look of this pattern but was VERY UNHAPPY with the directions. The picture of the original quilt doesn't match the pictures or directions in the pattern (there is a note telling you assembly is different but not that the finished quilt will not look just like the picture). In the end I just had to figure out how to make it work...
Here is the top in the end. Not exactly as lined up as I wanted, but the fact that it is together is a hell of an achievement if you ask me! I am a direction follower and I need decent pictures and directions or I about lose my quilting mind!
**edit** Katie of
Swim, Bike, Quilt contacted me to tell me she updated the pattern on Moda Bake Shop. I am SEW glad it wasn't just me (because at times I thought it was!) and that it is fixed so I can make it again! Thanks Katie--you rock!

I was curious so I went looking at the bake shop for the pattern. Sounds like there were some errors that have now been corrected on the website and the pdf download. Your's looks lovely.
I am so sorry there were errors in the pattern--I figured out what went wrong but I don't need to bore you with that. I have fixed them (too late for you I know) but wish I would have heard that there were problems sooner so this didn't happen to you and others. Again, my sincere apologies.
