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


This project has been on one of the design walls in the basement for about 8 months.  Here is the post where more of the layout is shown.  I decided it was time to start sewing some of the blocks to see if it would be an enjoyable project.  I need to cut a lot more of the light prints.  These are all Marcia Derse fabrics.










This is how the center of the first block turned out after 3 tries at it.  That is about 1/16" of an inch off.












The second block turned out better.  I used to make a lot of Kaleidoscope quilts so I know I can match the centers.






Another new orange cacti bloom yesterday.  They make me so happy.












The dark rose one is fully opened now.  I think I see a bud on the pale pink one so I'm hoping for one more bloom at this east window.

It was 70s early in the day yesterday and 36 at bedtime.  It was going down from there through the night.  All of the severe storms with hail stayed south of us.
