On to the next project

I started this one the day before yesterday and its going quicker than I thought it would. Too late for the 4th of July but we still have five months left of the 250th year so I'm saying there's still time to enjoy it. First row of untrimmed blocks and without sashing...
There's another block where the pieces are fused and cut out but they havent been fused to the background square yet - that will come tomorrow. and here's the pattern.
Thats it for now. TTYL

Let's catch up

After a period of time where I didnt seem to be getting much of anything done let alone any quilting, I finally got some mojo back. In the past couple of weeks, I have completed a medium sized lap quilt, a wall hanging and the tote bag I promised my oldest great granddaughter...and started another wall hanging.
. I haven't finished my first block of the next project. The pieces are cut and fused onto the background square but I haven't stitched them down yet. It's a patriotic wall hanging that I had hoped to have done in time for the 4th of July but I couldn't start it until I had finished the other projects so I'd have more elbow room to work on it. That's OK, I'm sure we'll be celebrating all year long. Well, it wasn't much to report/share but it proof that I'm still in the quilting world. Now, I have to go empty and reload the dishwasher...sigh. I'll try and have some more pics to share next week. Until then, take care, stay safe and quilt away with abandon. TTYL
