Something new.........................


When I cut strips for the Marcia Derse fabric 16 patch last year, I cut an extra strip from several of the fabrics.




Last night during TV time I sewed 19 pairs together.  







There are 11 more sets paired ready to sew.  I'm not sure if I'm going to make another 16 patch or do the "other 16 patch" which is 16 rectangles in a block.  I have enough here for 60 blocks but would need 63 for the smallest size I would want to make.  There are 60 unique fabrics so I need to search for a few more that haven't been used yet.

I have another quilt in progress that I'm going to start working on again.  I need to do some cutting today.


I was about 30 seconds too late to catch most of the brilliant color at sunset last night.  There were several dark clouds in the sky too.  I'm still getting used to the fence my neighbor put up.  My 2 birdfeeders have a backdrop now.

We got 1.75" of rain with the big storm and another .25" yesterday so 2" total.  We didn't have any measurable rain last month so this was needed.
