Creeping Along

We had a beautiful Easter weekend, that started with a date day with My Guy on Friday.  A fun hike followed by a nice lunch made for a good day out of the house. We missed having Grad Girl home, but had a nice chat over the phone with her on Sunday evening. Easter is a big holiday in My Guy's family, but we've not celebrated with everyone since Covid. It's harder as everyone's kids are now grown, with jobs and families of their own.

I spent my Easter afternoon in the sewing room. You'd think I'd have more to show for my efforts, but there was more going on than is currently up on the design wall. 



    
I've finished all the square in a square blocks for the week 5 border of the Stay at Home Round Robin project.  The left border is sewn together.  Since this photo was taken, it's been pinned to the rest of the quilt top.  A few more pinwheel blocks are finished.  There are still 16 of those left to make to finish out the week 6 border.  

Cutting fabric has slowed me down a bit. I've had to cut pieces to continue using Chilhowie as a leaders and enders.  I'm hoping to play some catching up with Diatom this month, so I spent some time cutting out block 3. Block 8 comes out this Friday, so I'd like to make some progress on 3 and 4 before then.  

That's what's been going on in my sewing room. You can see how others are doing by checking out the Design Wall Monday and Patchwork & Quilts linky parties.

    your quilt is coming along fine - we all used to meet for the holidays too and gradually most just did by themselves. Still some get together but outside and the weather hasn't always cooperated with that so it seems more and more didn't come and had other places with more comfort in mind LOL - we stayed home and one of our daughters was here for awhile

    I really like how you're doing those borders. The green diamond works perfectly with the blue squares.

    Holidays sure change when our kids are all grown up.

    A hike and lunch out sound like the perfect date! We're hoping to do something like that this week, too. I always enjoy seeing your SAHRR progress. The square in a square border with a few diamonds is looking great!

    Cutting fabric does take quite a bit of time (and concentration). It sounds and looks like great progress to me!
