I went through boxes of pieces and parts yesterday looking for a partially made project to work on. I counted blocks in a couple boxes so I could put a note in with them. Since I was in zig zag mode I wondered how the 2 sizes of bow ties would look in zig zags. Ignore the 3 pieces turned the wrong way at the bottom of the second column of large ones. I wasn't in any mood to take another photo. This kind of looks like a twisted chain...... I wasn't really too excited about any layouts that I tried in this post last year in June. I can just use the 2 sizes in 2 different quilts too. Just playing. It is getting hotter each day although the humidity is still low. In the late afternoon the breeze dies down and it is just plain hot in my west facing kitchen and studio. I think I'll have to resort to A/C this afternoon or I'll be just plain grouchy.
Today my word is FOCUS. Note to self: Don't fritter away the whole day achieving nothing.

Wanda, hope you can stay cool. The quilt has such lovely fabric. I have been trying multiple ideas and nothing is jellling. Must just be the times.
We did put on our AC--it has been super humid here and "still"--I guess the tropical storm took all the wind away with it in those ferocious gusts!!
It is difficult not to fritter away time--I see our senior years flowing inexorably away...time is so elastic--days seem long, but then here it is Thursday already again;000 Hard to figure...
Covid Brain Fog has settled in here...
The selection of colors in your bow ties is really pretty...very warm looking...Summery...
Hang in there..;)))
Hugs from afar Julierose
Some days, you just gotta PLAY!!! :o))
Hoping today will be more productive.
Good morning, Wanda. I really like the third photo down in the link to show howe you were playing last year. Kudos for just keeping going, putting one foot in front of the other. Sometimes a mind just needs a wee break between fantastic creations which you have been producing rapidly this summer. Happy chilling!
In the vein of accomplishing SOMEthing, I would be tempted to separate the two sizes and make two table runners/mats. Yes to the A/C - there's enough grouchy in the world just coping with the conditions OUTSIDE our homes. Here's to some scrappy play time today.
Good word! I have had the hardest time focusing through all this. I do like the layout of the bow ties. I haven’t seen that in the past.
At first glance the smaller bow ties don't seem to "go" with the larger ones. I think there just aren't enough of them. They provide a visual blip but not a focus.
Haha - frittering is one of my favorite pastimes - ;))
So this was was before you posted on Instagram? The quilt I saw this morning was magical, perhaps you'll be posting here soon.
