Thanks all for your suggestions. I am finding the colored pencils idea especially helpful. I managed to cut out all of the pieces for center block tonight. Wow, quite a few! Tomorrow evening I'll start sewing. As far as the grandchildren's schooling goes. I have no say. Their mother chose to do this on-line learning with their school. The school gave them laptops, each one different. with different programs. One of the girls is suppose to be special ed. Oh well. My son, the father, let her decide. Last week mom was threatened by her live in boyfriend and she went into hiding. The girls are living with dad. I'm the only one around during the day. I'm not as worried now that I found out the police took all of his guns and weapons from him. Except the girls just do not want to pay attention. Keep on trying is all I can do;
Thinking about this quilt really perked me up. Nice happy, relaxing evening. Good night all.
