After 2 months

 April and May were my sickness months and now I’ve come out of it. During this time in between resting and watching PBS I’ve been doing some serious down sizing. Not knowing how long I’ll keep living where I am, what with gardens to tend and up and down stairs with my bad knees, I’ve made good progress. The last thing I am tackling is my sewing room!  So much fabric and scraps. I kept my scraps separated by color so I thought I’d donate them to a quilting group (if wanted). There are two quilts that need quilting and one ready to cut out. My grand plans at the beginning of the year will not come to fruition 😩. In fact after getting well and adjusting to my new way of life (catheter and leg bag) I wonder if I’ll even go back to quilting. I seem to have lost interest in the things I used to love. So I’m not getting rid of all my fabs, just going thru stuff kinda makes me want to get back sewing.  I’m taking it one day at a time…

What a month April has been

 I’ve been sick all month and am taking my third antibiotic..Hope it does the trick. Meanwhile I just got the rows sewn together on this top.. not planning on any border

Finally back in the sewing room

 This is ready to be prepared for quilting   I love it and hope to make another one, it was so fun to do.

Getting sewn into rows, should not have taken me this long

It’s been over one month…

 This past month has been a downer for me. I’m still coping with the death of my son. But hoping Springtime will brighten my mood and everyday living. There’s so much to catch up on!

Final layout of when you shine

 I probably will add a narrow border to this

Also I  almost have all the squares I need for Streamers. I’ll add one more row to the width, plus move some blocks around. And maybe a narrow border

Updated

When you shine - squares done

 I don’t know what difference it makes how you lay these out.  I do like it!

When You Shine

 Here’s the reveal on this block. I see three possibilities… each a little different. I could make two more quilts, one in each setting…

Well now I’m thinking maybe these should have sashing between, too busy?
