I agree amazing is the word to descibe your quilts. Farm quilt is hilarious on the back and you know how much I love bright colors the heart quilt is a beauty.
Hubby is starting to feel better, he was even out in the garage last night playing with the new car. He said Wow dear I hope this car isn’t too smart for us. Just laughed and said once you know the basics that’s all I need to know. All that fancy stuff is beyond me.
Looking pretty dismal out.

Hi everyone, been busy with outside with the nice weather (not too hot yet). Chicks are doing fine, and moved out to the coop, but we're still working on the enclosure for them.
I hope to get my blocks in the mail tomorrow. DH and I have been working on getting things organized and I think that we'll be able to get the small trailer fully unloaded today. We've been using both trailers for storage since we moved down here, and slowly working on finding homes for everything. Now that we've got the garden shed done, we've been working on moving stuff out of the garage and getting things organized, and now we've got room to move DH's welding stuff into the garage. Saturday we finally got the second layer unloaded in the big trailer and removed the plywood shelf. Now we don't have to bend down to find things in the trailer - makes thing much easier.
Once it gets hotter, I'll move to doing more inside and at that point DH will service the LA and we'll get that up and running. My pile of floppies is getting rather large (think I'm up to 14 now) so it will be nice getting them finished. Not looking forward to all the binding I'll be needing to sew on . . .

All pretty blocks NZQ! Thanks for mine. 
Hope the homeschooling does go better!

I finished the my last 3 blocks, one for Cheesehead, one for Michelle Quilts and one for TravelingGramma.
Life has been a whirlwind here. One of our girls (1st grader) has been having trouble with some of her peers at school all year and it's been causing her a lot of stress and tears. Everyday was tears! She has been begging me to homeschool her and I've been trying make her at least finish up the school year. It got too much for her this week and we withdrew her from the school. 😔 I found a highly recommended online homeschool curriculum for her and I'll see how she handles it. I am so hopeful that we see her relax and be happy again! I'm also hoping that I start to see her reading improve with the one-on-one attention. Who knows, maybe I'll homeschool all the kiddos next year, lol!

What??!!! You have UFO's travelinggramma!! I would never do such a thing. LOL (I had to dodge the lightening bolt for telling such a big fib there!!) I keep telling my friend who is much more of the buy the fabric, complete the project, buy more fabric, complete the next project type than I am that one day I will have LOTS of vintage quilts when I finish them... LOL
All pretty quilts but my fav is the animal quilt.

My show and tell - I started these before COVID! Each in its own baggy with the backing material. And then it just sits. In one of the local groups we were putting together the farmers quilt - and I was able to use the large scraps for backing. The Heart was another that was waiting to get quilted.
Two more down - Yea!!

I’m in a pickle. I need a piece of fabric about 3” X 15”. My block needs 9 sections to finish and the pattern only said 8. Now I used every thread of fabric on the eight I made. Anyone have any of NZQUILTER’s dyed fabric? Even a 3 X 6 piece would help me.
This is what I’m stuck with when they changed the rules midstream. I’m sure I’ve made a mistake either in the printing or the cutting but I will beat myself up for that after May 2.
thanks to all

GramE, I've got some small scraps but I'm not sure they will help you. Have you tried reaching out to NZQ? She may have what you need.
edited to add that I just emailed NZQ to see if she has any extra.
