Changes

 When Spunky helps me with quilting, we always have interesting developments.  I was in need of distraction this week, so we pushed through a few more “chunks” of her quilt.  I will make another checkerboard section for the top (right) of the quilt, and then I think all we need to do is use up the odds and ends on the left for a final wide strip.  I like it.  She says it feels like fall, which was the original vision, so it’s good.

I also started a new quilt this week.  I had plans for the intended recipient in 2021, but as life does, I could see it would be a great quilt to make now, in this strange interim time of the year.  It’s similar to the purple quilt I made for my SiL earlier this year, but with one round less.  I was able to get about 95% of the strips from my 2.5” scrap box, and only needed maybe 1/2 yard of strips from white and blue to cut the rest.  I’m excited and nervous to see if this quilt looks like I have imagined it.

Next week, with Thanksgiving, I don’t know if I will get as much done as I dream about, but that’s okay.  We all need to decompress from the stress, and while we won’t celebrate with family, we will try to relax.

I finished one more hexagon flower.  Next will be a big orange star, and it will take me certainly longer than the next week.
