Moving along

I’m quilting again today. I didn’t make the blocks for this quilt but I put the blocks together, sandwiched the top and now I’m quilting it. The blocks were hand pieced by someone who gave them to the Guild. When they were offered to the Guild at a meeting at least three years ago and no one wanted them so I said I’d take them. I like the fabrics; they are very scrappy and I think quite old as some of them aren’t even cotton. For lack of another name I’m calling this one Stars, although I’m quilting it with hexagons so that would work also. A lot of the blocks have stains and age marks on them (not my doing) so I’m thinking of how I might get them out before I donate it back to the Guild.

I’m only giving this quilt a name because in the past couple of weeks I’ve been looking for the names and dates for a couple of things that probably, at some time, were mentioned either in my Journal, on the Guild blog or even somewhere in my photos. While I looked this morning, without any luck, I found a date for something that I had, so far, only thought about needing to look for. So, for the bit of time I have left to work on this quilt, Stars it is.

Other than quilting it has been a quiet day. While we had lunch we watched a couple of episodes of Bodies – a sci-fi, time-travel series. We are both a bit confused and thought that we only had one episode left and we’d get all the answers we needed. We ended up watching two episodes but we still have questions. There is one episode left and, hopefully, all will be revealed.

Supper is in the oven so I’ll get back to Stars. Just a few blocks left and then I’ll move on to the borders.
