I’ve been continuing on with cutting the scraps from my bin into the appropriate sizes of squares, strings and HST’s but got a bit sidetracked playing with the scraps so I’m still working on the last 3 baggies.
I did get 18 – 32 patch panels done with a few 😉 of my 2 1/2” squares just because mindless sewing is the order for the week it seems.
I also managed to make 3 more of my pink scrappy blocks.
I also tried something I have never done before. I was inspired by Gail from Quilting Gail to do a flanged binding. I did the quilting on a hexagon Table Topper and thought the flanged binding might be the perfect finishing touch.
I just found out a dear friend has been hospitalized with Covid so I’m dropping everything and pulling fabrics for a quilt for him. He had asked me to make one for him in June but I’m thinking he needs it now. We have a mutual friend who works in the hospital and says he can sterilize the quilt once I get it made and take it to our friend.
I’m so glad you visited my blog to read my post. Thank you 😉 Carol

Those 32-patches could combine with another of Deanna’s quilts – Growing Up Odd. It wouldn’t be exactly the same, but if you look at it, you can see how you could do something similar. I’m sorry about your friend. I think this is the perfect time for a quilt. He will appreciate it as he recovers.

Susan thanks for the suggestion. I’ll check Deanna’s pattern. I’m hoping he will. It will get me concentrating on a project rather than worrying.

Thanks Wendy. He is just one of the nicest men I’ve ever known so it’s so sad to hear of how poorly he is doing.
