last ditch stitching

Reading week is at an end.  I have read and graded quite a bit this week, but not enough, never enough -- so this evening and (especially) tomorrow will be...stitch-free zones. 

Before that occurs, here's a little progress to report on the king-sized bear paw quilt: 9 of the 30 blocks done.  Frida and Penelope conspired to make this an awkward photo shoot.  Both toddler and kitty were in need of my attention!

And I couldn't resist the pull of the Granny Square fever, begun by Jolene of Blue Elephant Stitches.

I pulled a dark berry-coloured solid and raided my little tackle box of 2.5" scraps, making two of these "granny square" blocks (so far).  These really and truly are quick, so maybe, just maybe I could fit in another one in the next few days...?

Hoping everyone has a good week.  I'll check in on Tuesday with a winner of the giveaway!
