What a week! So much happened, and none of it was quilty. We moved my sister to Ludington, Michigan, from Flint, Michigan, on Tuesday.......to an independent living apartment .........My fairly new car - (just got it all paid for recently) - was in a fluke accident while I was out of town.....Maybe my hubby was driving it, but I'm not saying for sure. I wouldn't want to embarrass him. Then our daughter and her family had to evacuate their home in Texas (Corpus Christi) because of Hurricane Harvey. They are home as of last night, but have no power yet. The good news is that they missed the worst of the hurricane winds and rain.....so far their home is not flooded. Wow, what a week!
So you will understand if this is a brief post because I did not do much quilting.
Here is a picture of part of the 365 quilt block project from 2016, that Dee put up on my design wall for me while she was here last week. There are so many different blocks, that there is no right or wrong way to arrange them. The next step will be sewing all the blocks together.
There is another round of darks and another round of lights - it's a big quilt! I may take apart the center medallian to use darker pieces in the outside triangles.....or I may leave it up on the design wall until it grows on me the way it is. I also may eliminate the four outside corner big blocks, as I haven't made them yet, and I think I have extras of the smaller blocks to use instead.
Here is the original layout:
In contrast to all the excitement this week, I enjoyed a nice boat ride with my granddog, Charlie on Monday. We both love to sit in the front of the boat, with the wind in our faces. We turned toward the camera for this picture, but usually we are facing into the wind with abandon!
What's on your design wall this Monday? I hope you will join in the parade of pictures of everyone's projects. I love to see what you are working on.
