Baby Quilt top for Connie's Quilt Group. They donate baby quilts to a Cincinnati Hospital for preemie babies. I found the foxy half yard at Goodwill and added the red dots and brown dots because I have so very many kinds of dots in the Magic Attic. This one was difficult to compose. Limited fabric yardage etc. Lots of unsewing. Add and subtract. The quilt top spent lots of time on the floor being observed (weeks and weeks) It just might be ready to be sent away this week. And now that the irons are working--I can give it a good starch and press.
The long diamond segments are part of Storm At Sea. I Googled. I have 16 of them (I don't seem to be able to count). I'm thinking four rows of four with two kinds of sashing-different widths. And then onto the sewing room floor to see what I can imagine happening next. This whole top is off the cuff. And the fabrics are NOT what I use or buy. Today I am trimming the blocks so I have an even edge for adding the borders. I have the Storm at Sea block drawn into my desktop journal. I keep glancing at it. Thinking of trying one of the border additions. The square inside four half square triangles. (huh?)
The football wasn't exciting. A total defensive game rarely is but the Patriots won (SIX TIMES) and everyone will just have to try and get over it and beat them next year. The Duck Boat parade in Boston on Tuesday will be pretty great-- temps in the 50's for the day and sunshine. I did my part and made pizza just as I have for every game this season. One commentator mentioned the Rams shouldn't even have been in the game. The Saints would have been playing if the refs had made the right call. That's the game I wanted to see-- Patriots and the Saints.
The sun is shining here in Maine today almost 40 degrees. Lots of snow on the ground so not looking like Spring or anything. I have no idea what I will be getting up to today. Feels like I should do something out of the ordinary--not the same old/same old. But can't think of anything right now.
Your un-sewing gave me a chuckle, Joanne. I have been making Tiny Tuesday Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks. I find the constraint of only using scraps and bits is very good for me as it obliges me to be intentional. But, man, am I ever doing a lot of un-sewing, and those little five-inch blocks take just as much time as a twelve-inch one.
