I am happy to say that I did make a few more Jacob's Ladder blocks yesterday and plan to sew again today and make some more.
This project was inspired by American Patchwork and Quilting's "Go Four It" Sew Along featured in their most recent issue. The idea is to use scads of four patches to make a quilt top. I have thrown in some half square triangles as well to make the Jacob's Ladder block, each one of which calls for five four patches and four half square triangles.
As I sew, I have been watching episodes of The Forsythe Saga on Netflix. My goodness, I have such mixed feelings about the character Soames Forsythe. I pretty much loathe him, but also feel sorry that happiness and love have so eluded him. In fiction as in life, we are all a mixed bag of good and evil aren't we? The series is quite good, although at times I have wanted to pinch Irene to see if it would provoke anything other than simmering emotions. Whew, that woman sure keeps a lid on her feelings doesn't she?
Lovely early spring weather here. Lots of budding trees, gorgeous shades of green, and the promise of warmth. My favorite time of year. Hope wherever you are, you will enjoy your weekend.

I have a hard time sewing while watching a new (to me) movie or TV show … I find myself stopping to watch (because not all of the story is conveyed through conversations).
It’ll be a few more weeks before we’re experiencing early spring weather (although it’s going to get into the 70s again on Monday).
I love your Jacob’s ladder quilt … that block is one of my favorites … nothing very special as a single block yet something pretty fantastic when combined to create a quilt.

Love how your Jacob’s Ladder is progressing! How big are your blocks?
I cannot watch any TV or movie as I machine sew either but occasionally I try an audio book. Quite often I lose track of what’s happening in the audio book so usually just stick with music to accompany my sewing.
We have warming weather, can see the tiny green fuzz of new tree leaves against the sky, and the woods are once again noisy after dark due to the crickets and frogs. Love it!
Hope you’re feeling great once more.
Hugs!

Jacob’s Ladder quilts are timeless and can have such variety. I want to do one someday using Fig Tree—notice that someday part. I’m not finished with my Rhubarb Swirl as it had to be put aside for other projects.
Have a great weekend Nicole in our lovely and all to short spring.

Your Jacob’s Ladder is looking great!
I just finished The Forsyte Saga this week. (I got a lot of good series ideas from your blog awhile back.) I can’t watch while I’m sewing, but I watch when I exercise and that makes the treadmill a little more palatable. I’d love to chat with you via email after you’ve seen the last episode. I wasn’t sure what to think about the last few minutes of the show. Like you, I didn’t like Soames, but I really felt sorry for him, too – all he wanted was to be loved, and nobody seemed to be able to. I was frustrated with Irene, but she got more likeable towards the end, I thought.
Thanks for the book ideas, too. I’m going to print them out and get on the library website pronto!
