New goodies & hand-piecing

Just got a lovely package in the mail from WildHare on Etsy.  I saw a beautiful rainbow roving on someone's Facebook post (in a spinning group) and asked where she got it.  Wild Hare told me they had two different rainbow rovings, so I got both.

The top roving is in the colorway "Boing", and the bottom one is called "Grateful Dyed."  Both are beautiful!  The fiber is Falkland wool top.  The Boing colorway is slightly more... tropical, I would say; the Grateful Dyed is stronger colors.  Both are gorgeous.  I'm planning to spin thin (what else?) and possibly ply with some silk thread.

I've been working on an old hand-piecing project that is actually fairly close to done (at least the blocks are).  This is from the Hand-Piecing Quilt Along on the blog "Why Not Sew?"  I am currently working on block #10, a log cabin.  I have done two of each block all along.

I still have four blocks left to go after this, two each of numbers 11 & 12.

Then there will be sashings, and setting up which blocks go where, and assembling rows and the top. It has taken me probably several years to get to this point.  I'm in no rush.
