I'm Calling It Sunnyside!

I spent the weekend quilting away - just like you knew I would.

I'm not sure why the push to get this done and dusted and the binding put on felt like such a "Must Do" but all I can think is that we can only take care of the things that are within our own grasp at the moment, and I grasped on to this.

I could make a difference with this. At least to these random scraps I could!

So that's what I did.

Oh No, Not Again!

This is what I woke up to this morning.

Actually, it was what I woke up to in the still wee small hours as Zoey jumped off the bed around 4am and I knew that if she didn't settle somewhere it was because she needed to go out.

So I padded down the stairs, turning on as little light as I could just to see my way so I don't bruise a hip on the kitchen island, turned right to go towards the back door by the laundry nook, turned on the outside light and. OH. MY.

It was clear skies last evening! Where did this come from?

Is It Done Yet?!

All. Day. Long.

I spent the entire day making scrappy yellow backing blocks for the X-Plus quilt that likely by now needs a new name.

And I even combed through the rest of the hunks and chunks in that pin, deciding which just needed to be cut down into Scrap User's System sizes so I could use them more easily, and which I really didn't like enough to save, and simply cut them down into strings and added them to the string bin where they will also find a place.

More Yellow, Please!

The building of the Screaming Yellow Backing Blocks continues -

I need 36 and am more than halfway there at this point.

The process is so fun and relatively mindless. I only have a couple of rules for myself -
