Orange You Glad…

 Five COVID samples for research this week, but everyone is well on the way to recovering from a cold and no one stayed home sick.  I’ll take it!

Friday afternoon, I quickly quilting my Modern Vintage flimsy.  I was mentally berating myself for meandering again, but then I reminded myself that this is not the time or the setup to worry about challenging myself with a more complicated pattern.  Extended concentration time is not in my possession right now, so meandering is just fine!  I’ll take better pictures once I have the binding on.

I finished three blocks this week.  I accidentally made my pumpkin a row too short, so it’s a bit squatter than intended, but that’s okay.  (And it is square, but I clearly didn’t lay it down on the floor tidily!). I’m enjoying the orange fabrics (even if I only have two) for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

Meandering still makes a finish, Katie!! Looks like you had a fun wander through your ORANGE scraps, too. Hoping the five are feeling better each passing day!

Great finish on your Modern Vintage, Katie! I bet it is cozy and cuddly. And cute pumpkin block, too!

Meandering works! It holds the quilt together, and makes everything quite cuddly. Glad everyone is on the mend!

Meandering quilting is always a hit! Congrats on the almost finish and that the kids were able to be in school! The pumpkins look great.

Yay! Only a cold and no quarantines! Very nice orange blocks. Love the scrappiness of the pumpkin!

Stash Report Week #17 and 15 Minutes

 The stash report is boring: no changes.  I did start quilting my New York Beauty quilt today and finished piecing the box blocks, so I will...
