Stars and Stripes Forever - 52 x 68" - for VA Hospital Hospice Unit.
Kalidescope III - 40 x 50"
Patriotic Slash and Sew Squares - 54 x 69" - Veteran's Comfort Quilt
I got this older project out at the end of September and sewed four more blocks which I had already had cut out. I now have 12 blocks ( one of which I don't care for color-wise). We had an engagement in the family and thought perhaps this would make a nice wedding quilt. So I cut out 9 more blocks and to make a 72 by 90 top. I decided I will make borders of very light blocks as seen in the 2 blocks below. Lots more sewing on this project!
This I call kind of a hot mess! I saw a completed quilt made of this simple pattern and really like it.
But my version doesn't make me happy although the blocks can be sewn in your sleep - so to speak.
Made of 2 x 3.5 " rectangles.

Have been out with friends several times in the past couple of weeks, visiting local quilt shops
and having lunch out.
Seemed like almost normal - except for the masks.
Oh and one quilt shop had gloves for the customers to wear while shopping. That was awkward!
So I have some new fabrics and thread-most still in the bags.
I was really worried about running out of fabric - NOT!
Anyway today is a cool, dreary/rainy day -
perfect for sewing and for a pot of Chili!
Have a happy day!
