| Sweet Sixteen ~ 65" X 80" |
My guiding word for 2020 is "VISION"; the vision to see what's right in front of me-- namely, projects already begun and loads and loads of pre-cut pieces leftovers saved from other quilts (scraps!). Little did I know that the state of the current health pandemic would offer me nothing but time at home to realize that vision. This completed flimsy is off the design wall and created straight from the Scrap User bins. I've named it Sweet Sixteen in honor (and memory of) this year's now cancelled NCAA basketball tournament. The pattern is free, found here: Perfectly Scrappy 16-Patch.
In light of our current state of the world it's uplifting to focus on some happy colors and have some control over something, even if it's only placing squares and triangles together in a pleasing way. I'm currently sewing together scrappy pieced "geese" and watching "Anne With An "E" on my tablet as I stitch. I suppose these impromptu blocks might signify constant directional changes going on around me, I might just call this one "Which Way Now?". I do wish you all a PIECEFUL day today, what are you taking control of in your own sewing space?
Adapting to current changes today involves complying with a government issued STAY AT HOME order locally unless traveling to work at an essential business or to procure necessities. This order will take place beginning tomorrow and will be enforced until the 16th of April. For us, this really doesn't look any different from the way Mr. G and I have been living the last two weeks anyway, but there's something scary and unsettling in contemplating how fast this has escalated.
Stay safe, my friends; wash your hands🧼!
