City Sampler, Eye Spy and a Hike!

I made Tula Pink's City Sampler block 45--once, 
 twice, three times before I got it right.  Funny thing is I grabbed four leftover hst's and just threw them together...then realized it was wrong, so I "fixed" it.  Sigh, almost left it, but it was bugging me so now it matches the picture.

 I spent some time today reorganizing in the quilting studio.  I went through the thread and resorted things by type and color--over time they just wind up mixed together!  I also cleared two drawers so that I could put tiny fabric pieces in the drawers--one for darks and one for lights.  This will make Wild and Goosey blocks so much easier!
I finally got the Eye Spy blocks into a top and made a backing for it.  I also made a backing for Moth in the Window so I can get it to Ros.
Not sure what I should sew next!  I am sure I will find something :)
