I see this block as a plane. I’m not sure if this plane represents the trips Ron has taken or the trips that he looks forward to. The lines of quilting are meant to keep the plane moving forward in case my aero-dynamics are a bit off.
However Wikipedia describes Flow as “the mental state characterized by complete absorption in what one does” and the loss of the sense of space and time.
Whatever way Ron looks at this, I hope he enjoys his day.

Is my life boring? Perhaps, but it suits me just fine!
I spent the morning working in the yard. I went over a small bed that I’d done before and it took no time at all. Another larger bed, some of which had been done once, took the rest of my yard time; there is still one patch that needs to be finished but overall I’m pleased with how easy the second time around appears to be.
I’ve spent the afternoon putting together another card top. Although I like the results of paper piecing, it does leave a mess in its wake. There are bits of paper and fabric all over my cutting table; I think I’ll clean that up before I start my next card top.
Author: Belina Acosta
The book is set in Texas but it is about a family of Mexican heritage; it is one in a series of quinceañera books. I know from movies I’ve seen that a Quincenara is sort of a coming out party for young Mecican girls “because there is only one prom queen, you may never get married, but everyone turns 15”.
It was an easy read, with a happy ending.

The name of the block doesn’t really lend itself to an August birthday, so I added some fall shades!
