In: Nothing!!! That’s about the only good thing coming from this enforced stay at home order. No fabric buying.
Out: New Album Wedding Topper flimsy, Willow QAL blocks, quilting on baby quilt.
I’ve slacked on the Laundry Basket QAL aka Cooped Up. I was waiting to see the final reveal to decide how to divide my remaining fabric. I wish I had a darker blue in the range of my others, but I don’t, so I will accommodate as needed. Also, which background to use was better left to an overall picture of the final product. I have a plan and it is between these options.

I lost a day to dog delivery. BioGirl and I drove 2 cars to drop off my sister’s dogs and her car at my parent’s house. We visited from 6 feet away. LOL! But it was OK, I needed a break from the sewing. And then I turned around the next day and quilted a small wallhanging and bound it in the span of 7 hours.

glad you got to see your family even if at the safety of 6 feet. I had started that mystery and then got side tracked by masks and other things, I saved the pattern but don’t know if I will ever make it, I had the first two parts made but now don’t know if I liked the colors – I might just toss them I have so many others to finished I really didn’t need more ideas
I didn’t need 1 more thing on my list but I am glad I started it. Now I just need to finish the last 20 blocks!

Mysteries can be so much fun. I was tempted this past month, but decided I needed to work on other things.
LOL and here I was tempted 3 times and caved to each!!!

Your quilting on the baby quilt is so pretty and creative! Do you do FMQ or walking foot?
Thank you! I am walking foot my way through the book Walk. Great resource.
>
I have that book, too! There are so many great designs to try!
Absolutely! I need to brush up on the curvy ones!! > >
it’s good to talk to people, even if hugs are off limits. Good Progress!
Absolutely. Sometimes texting and phones just don’t cut it.

Yeah for nothing in on the fabric front and yeah for all the quilty progress! Sometimes you have to mix it up, so 6 out of 7 days of stitching time is probably a good thing. Hope all your family is well and wishing you more progress in April.
Thanks, it was good, and what’s 1 day out of a year? Or an eon the way things feel right now! LOL > >
Your Willow Quilt Along blocks are so lovely. You know, your Friday night sounded quite romantic. How nice! Thank you for sharing at Paint, Quilt, Create!
Thank you, I am loving the Willow blocks!! And our Friday night was perfect, except for the smoke following “beauty” and making me cough! LOL > >
Glad you got to see your family, even if you had to maintain a distance for right now 🙂 You are getting just an amazing amount of quilting done, and it all looks wonderful!
Thanks! Today’s output stalled so I could make more face masks for family and friends. But I will be back at it tomorrow. I don’t have anything else to do! > >
I like your change to the block arrangement of Edyta’s mystery. If you want an opinion, my favourite is your first option with the floral as the large star points. But I’m sure any of the options will look great when it is done!
It’s my favorite too! I just need to determine if I have enough fabric!

Great job on making so much progress through the month of March. Yes! This shelter in place has helped lower the stash enhancements everyone is making I believe, unless you are an avid online shopper…I hope April was just as productive for you!
Thanks! I did do a little enhancement recently! 😁 It’s all for a good cause! Keeping my local shops from closing!
