Sewbiz, you are so sweet! Those Hunter's Stars are in my piecing comfort zone. I still am trying to get my Double Stars to get more comfortable for me to do. It seems to be a pretty one when color requests are limited. I'm learning. Thank goodness the BOOMers love experimenters!

Hi Janice and all. My goal is to finish the rest of my blocks today so they can be mailed tomorrow. I will post pictures of the remaining blocks after they are all packaged up. If they don't go out tomorrow, I will overnight them on Monday. You will have them in hand by the deadline!
Thank you Klaws and Terriamn. I used the Go Cutter so the piecing was wonderfully easy. Today I have a couple oopsies to fix and some paper piecing to do. Thankfully, no obligations on my plate besides getting to piece peacefully! If the grandkids swing by later this afternoon, that will give me a break from my projects and let my older grandaughter try to wrap up her doll crib flimsy. This has just been a quilting house whenever I am not travelling for these last two months. Next week start more journeys to Louisiana and Texas and back again. Sigh. Some for work. Some for family. I am thankful I still have the health and job to let me do these trips.
And I am so thankful for my Boom Quilting Buddies!! You have saved me from my doom and gloom thoughts that have been piling up in this crazy year. Distraction and creativity was exactly what I needed to start functioning more normally again. Thank you all! And I am reminding myself that no matter who becomes our president, we will survive. Our States may have to take the lead for the projects we consider more important than whatever our politicians in DC have to focus on, but we can get our State legislatures to act if we really want them to. Don't ever doubt the voices of quilters who have figured out how to manipulate fabric cut on the bias! Quilty hugs to all of you. Back to the sewing machine I go.
