I do! I am going to make a pink Xs and Os quilt with sashing so you can easily see the Xs and Os. My quilt store had a remnant sale last week and they had the perfect fabrics that were missing from my stash, the rest will be from stash of course. I'm also going to make a Sunflower dresden plate for a coworker and will pick up the yellows next month.

Congratulations on your beautiful finishes. There is nothing as satisfying as accomplishing something and seeing it to fruition.
I don't know what my DH and I would have done without our hobbies in retirement. We usually travel numerous times throughout the year to see our kids, grand kids and the country. We naturally miss that during Covid, however are thankful for each other, living in the country so we can take walks down country lanes together with our dogs, and working on our hobbies. I quilt every day and my DH works in his woodshop making products for Etsy. I haven't been out of the house since March, except for Dr. appts. but am perking along just fine and making a "small" dent in the projects I have on hand. Keep up the good work and good luck in finishing your next quilt before Christmas. I am binding my last grand child quilt today!!!

Very nice quilts and glad you got your mojo back for quilting. I find going in my sewing room just lifts my spirits so I hope by pulling your sewing machine out and finishing some quilts that this helps you and lifts your spirits too. It is a trying time in the world and hope sewing helps you out.
