The Chaos that Never Ends

We have had both a stomach bug and a cold of some sort (no Covid to our knowledge) galavanting through the house for a month.  Unfortunately, it quick succession, the two oldest boys, myself, and DH fell victim.  I have no idea where the week went, but I do know I am exhausted.

On the good days, I did turn all my 2.5” pink squares into four patches.  


I also sewed up most of my box blocks.  (Eek!). I’ll have to dive into another color for leaders and enders for the rest of the month.

 I also have some self-designed paper piecing developing, but I’ve had trouble finding more of the correct color of red.  I don’t have any quilt shops nearby, and Hobby Lobby didn’t have what I needed, so I’m at the mercy of ordering.

I link up each Saturday to the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

I'm so sorry you were sick, hope you're all feeling better now. You got a lot done with your pink scraps even so!

Four patches are the perfect sewing when you don't feel the best - simple and soothing! I like those Box blocks, too. Hope the coming week is a better one for the whole family!

Sickness and an empty PINK scrap box? I think that SEW gives you a free pass to do whatever you want for the rest of the month, Katie!! Hoping everyone is better now and the rest of the family remains healthy.

Hopefully, everyone one is well and no one else catches it. You made good progress after dealing with a sick family and unwell self. Fingers crossed that you are almost at the end of the illness season.

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
