To all Roses, relax. You have months ahead of you to finish. It’s meant to be fun and if rushing isn’t fun for you, take your time!

SBG, two tops are still a commendable accomplishment.

SusieQ, you must realize by now that you must bow to a feline’s wishes and desires. It’s in their contract. I, of course, never have to deal with this since I have a dog. Ha! Below is where Ernie has commandeered my old sewing room chair as you can see below.

Speaking of my old chair, I’m sitting in it now, looking at my design wall. I’ve got my Spring Boom 31 blocks on the wall. I made easy alternates. The picture of it is below. You can see it extends beyond the capacity of the wall onto the floor. These blocks were not meant to make a quilt this big until the Guild said they needed some twin sized quilts for a local charity. I haven’t finalized the Boom block layout and I may add a border. I just finished the alternate blocks. I have three more blocks which will be added to the back. I think I’ll put it all together and hope to quilt it on the LA as my first project with the easiest pattern I can find. It should be “a great learning experience” as my husband loves to say. Thank you to everyone who made blocks for this soon-to-be top. (That’s one of Ernie’s beds in the corner. When I’m in here, he’s usually in the bed.)
