I still haven't had time to do any cutting for my big projects so I continue to just make a few blocks in each of these 2 patterns. Reference to them was on this post. I used the same solids in both patterns with just the print being different. I still have enough of the solid 2" strip to cut another zipper block so I may do every color twice in that one.
I mowed the front and one side yard yesterday at 2 p.m. and then went back out at 7 p.m. and did the other side and the backyard. It was a nice cool day to mow and is supposed to be warmer today. I would much rather mow in cool air! I also planted some Elephant Ears and Cannas in pots. I didn't get around to digging. I am slowly trying to dig out the Vinca vine and the other aggressive vine in my front garden, a little bit every day.

Zippers and framed 9 patches.... I think matching them up is a fun way to combine them.
Good to hear you are pacing yourself with your mowing chore. We 78 year olds aren't what we use to be. I sure can feel it this year.

These blocks are so pretty. I've been accumulating some 3" 9-patch blocks made with no purpose in mind and now the gears are turning!
And thanks for all the great tips you share!
Hope it's not too warm today :)
