Obviously I’ve decided which will be the quilt for my aunt. I have enough of the shabby chic fabrics that I can start over to make a large one for us. I may need only one more row after this one to make a lap quilt of the appropriate size for my aunt.
As I was making two of the blocks on Monday night, I was thinking about how to quilt it. I think I’ll get one of the silk batts for this which will keep it fairly light and make it easy to quilt. Planning the label for it will be next.
I can’t remember a year when allergies have been anywhere near as bad as this year. My eyes are streaming and I can’t stop sneezing. There’s some construction going on in the complex so I would bet some construction dust mixed in with the pollens and the high winds have just turned into a soup of allergens. Almost everyone we know is complaining of allergy problems.
Lester got in some windowsill time on Monday, although it was still pretty chilly and the heat is still on.
While Smudge was wide-eyed and alert after his nightly yogourt treat.

I guess you did make your choice! She will love it. But I am glad that you have enough to make another for yourself. I know how much you like this block. We have had the heat on here too, crazy isn’t it??

Oh Cathi would you look at these blocks?! Well of course you have but I mean really! These are delectable. I’m so impressed with how you’ve done this. I’m thoughtfully looking them over and considering how your mind works to create the circles and the placement of those circles as well, one next to the other as well as one on top of the other . I think I might pull my hair out but you seem to really have such a way to consider all of this.
I’m totally in awe. Happy, too. I love this process. I totally do!!!

Gorgeous! But you know that I love this quilt. ; ) And you are going to make another? Woo hoo! More fun for we onlookers!
Allergies are at their worst in our area, too (SW Washington State). I’m sure the construction (destruction?) are not helping matters, though. Hang in there. I have to mow a lawn this week that’s nearly tall enough to bale into hay! : D (Mower needed fixing, which is why the lawn got so tall.)

Everyone’s allergies have been worse than normal this year here also! Sorry that it’s now found it’s way to you…
You know, even our two pups are effected by it. I have to give them 1/2 a table of benadryl. They will cough and do a reverse sneeze and itch. It’s because they go outside, the pollen,etc.
Your quilt is going to be beautiful! can’t wait to watch it unveil! 🙂

I keep hearing that–this year’s allergies have been the worst in a looonnnnggg time. Guess it’s not just here. Let’s blame it on global warming, aka climate changes, shall we? lol
