Yes, I’m a lazy quilter. I love to make quilts, but I don’t always have the time or patience to piece a bunch of tiny triangles, squares or rectangles (we won’t even talk about circles) into a quilt large enough to do anything but put in a baby’s crib, or to use as a table runner. Which is why I’m having fun designing a bunch of “mock blocks” that have the look of being pieced, without all the time and effort to piece each block.

Many of you know that I’m a fiber junkie (aka fiber geek). I love just about anything to do with fiber: spinning, dyeing, weaving, sewing, looking, touching, making… Which is why I spent several hours at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival today with my family. But to clarify, this is not the silk I’m talking about in the title of today’s post.

OK, well maybe not so easy. I had plenty of inspiration, but not much energy. Had a rough night last night, and didn’t sleep very well. Still, it’s an auspicious day, being “123”, and just over a third of the way through the year.
