Busy Hands

We are more than a week out from any stomach bug, so I have great hopes this round is finally over!  Now for an update on the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

My motivation to sew definitively took me many places this week.  I have a new optical illusion with the leftovers from the first.  So far, I like it.

A suitable red (third try) finally arrived.  I had to soak it for the better part of two days before it quit bleeding.  I’m glad I remembered to soak it before putting it in the quilt!  I have 40 blocks done, 24 to go.

My pink squares are all lovely half blocks at this point, and soon I’ll have finished blocks.  These blocks feel huge to me (2.5” squares so 8” blocks) even though my red blocks use 2.5” strips.  Isn’t it funny?

I also have a pile of fabric cut for cushion covers.  The pile takes up a lot of visual space, so I really need to make progress on it to put all the bits away.  I like my flat surfaces (floor included) clean!
