Good morning, Squirrels. What’s on your agenda today? No quilting for me as I’ve got errands galore and a coffee social with the women’s group. That’s always a fun time. Hope you have a happy day.
Darling block, SBG! love all the colors you chose. (block pulled)

Wonderful new blocks today. I’ll add them to the gallery tomorrow morning.
I spent the day on the boom 28 quilt, part 2. Played with the arrangement endlessly and threw up my hands and what it is, is what it is. Just finished the machine binding and it came out great, much better than my first two. I really slowed down and watched every stitch. Happy with the results. It’s below. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this quilt! And boy, I’ll never say again that Aurifil is linty after using a blue Mettler on the sashings and binding. Good grief! I’ll be cleaning that out forever. lol. Got most of it, and oiled the machine. She deserved it after this one. Tomorrow I hope to quilt my little scrappy quilt.
We’re expecting rain overnight in the mountains from the tropical storm. Very unusual. Hope it isn’t bad.
Hope you all have a pleasant evening.

Anyone remember this blue floral print I sent and asked for purples? It’s got to be at least five years old if it’s a day. I only have some Depression blocks left and some red and whites, I think. The r/w’s are even older than the blue purple florals. Anyway, does anyone else have Boom blocks that are old? Sheesh! Who knows what is in the other bin I discovered!

I am bad at putting my BOOM blocks together. I started in BOOM 17 and think I have only put one our two together. My best friend put 4 together for me. I keep saying I am going to get them together, but the truth is I love making them, not joining them together. I do have them all organized.

Agreed that making the blocks is more fun than putting them together... but I do love my finished quilts, LOL!
I keep a big box of solid scraps... bigger pieces. It sure comes in handy for Boom requests that say, "use colors in the print". I'll have them!
