I put sashing on two sides to make them look like attic windows, then when I QAYG I'll be putting a thin black strip between them. I made more than I need, but took out the really bright ones. Now I'll let my DH see if there are any that he thinks doesn't go. He has a pretty good eye. They aren't in any order, just the way I put them down. But I thought I'd give you an idea of what your hard work is doing. Thanks Rhonda! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Oh, and we don't want to know what the rest of my room looks like since I had so much, STUFF, on the bed. LOL

And I'm going out to dinner with DH and SIL and BIL. Hope you are feeling better CJ. I know I just can't do much of nothing when I don't feel good. And I do't have "little man" to take care of.

I've been down in bed sick too. Had a really bad night last night and today just not the best. It's that time of the year I guess for lots of sickness.

CJ I'm happy to see you have started working on the quilt blocks. Hope you get to feeling better soon!

Are you feeling any better yet then? I had some kind of sleeping thing again where I couldn't come up out of sleep and it has hung on. Today is better. I can function again. I hate to be sick. Especially when I know I have things I need to get done. But the upside is as I work at home I can pick it up and put it down when I feel like it. I don't have anyone to answer to.

Actually I am miserable. 4 out of 5 of my family is sick. Little man is the worst so I get no get. At the moment he is watching tv thankfully. I just wan to sleep too. I finally went to the Dr. yesterday and took little man with me. We all have upper resiratory infections.
I hope you got to feeling better. This stuff is the pits.
I think I am gonna go sit in the couch and watch tv and snuggle with Elijah.
After I do a little show and tell. LOL!!

Maybe later today I can pull out fabric for what I want to work on and that may get me going. As for now, I'm going to go eat a bagel and crawl in my soft fleece sheets. And CJ I didn't see your block before, brain dead. I like to bright colors. You did a good just. Just keep on keeping on!

In the picture shown, I used the "Lilly" block Also, as you can see, when the block is placed side by side it forms a secondary pattern.
This quilt is a WIP. This is only the first two rows. The finished quilt size will be 60"W X 84"L

Rhonda I love your cut-down method! It is very easy and precise. :thumbup:

I would like to make Rhonda's Bookmarks next if I can find the 1 1/4 inch template. I think it would be a fun little project and allow that little extra break after making big quilts...lol.
