Libster, I know the right apartment is just waiting for you, in the right time. Could be a good thing. More time to sell or give away what you can't take with you.

My friend who is 90 just moved into assisted living. She had a huge 4 bedroom house to downsize! She did take all of her sewing machines and a good stash of fabric, and set up the one bedroom she has as a sewing studio. She sleeps on a daybed in her living room. She can keep making charity quilts and is happy as a lark.

Hello Ladies, I've been working hard all week on blocks and figured I better stop and post some pictures. I've had fun playing around with variations on the same layouts. Here there are:

I received two of sewbiz's packets, so I was able to use both of the extra fabrics in both blocks.

Next is Bibliostone

[ATTACH=CONFIG]600051[/ATTACH]

GramE... thought of your friend the whole time I was making it. Hope she is doing ok.

Now QuilterMomma - I really love this fabric!

"Chocolate" Brown for Kass

And a really bright block for Cheesehead. This is going to be quite the bright quilt! Can't wait to see it.

That block is beautiful JayneW. My friend is home and recuperating slowly. And you were on my mind today as we got 2”+ of rain & thunder boomers and lightning, the dog and I stayed in & boomed blocks. Yours specifically.

This is my version of Indiana Circle from QuiltersCache.

Thank you, Libster. The hardest part was getting the shapes to print to the proper size! Why does it do two or three right, then it will only print at 85%?

My goodness, JayneW, what a lovely selection of blocks. I like how you added the black around the colored diamonds in Cheese's, it makes them really stand out. Sewbizgirl's two are so pretty. Kassaundra's is very sharp and I love the soft colors you used on QuilterMomma's. Nice work, JayneW!

Thank you Jayne for the lovely block you made for me! It's going to be so much fun putting this bright quilt together.

Gram E and Kass, great blocks you have made!

What beautiful blocks, Jane! I love the two that you made for me. Thank you so much.

GramE, love the Christmas block. Is it part appliqué?
