I had the house to myself for 4 hours this morning, and no work to go to for 2 whole months. What to do? Well, I could...
change the sheets
wash the dishes
fold the towels
wash walls
scrub floors
run errands
bundle up and ride my Harley
call a friend
OR............. make a quilt top.
Yeah, guess which one won out? :o)
I put together all the Orange Crush blocks together into a quilt top. Isn't it pretty? I think it's a beautiful mystery quilt. I do believe I just might have to keep this one for me.
And, a quilter's life is always busy. Earlier this week, I finished this quilt called "Pineapple Pinwheels". I made a quilt about a year and a half ago called Pineapple Blossom and had a zillion little triangles leftover. I couldn't just throw them away, so I figured out how to turn them into this quilt.
Now that I've had my quilting fix, I really do need to catch up on chores again, and I've already been working on them this afternoon, but it's always nice to do something productive, where you can actually *see* the results... unlike the daily household chores. :o)
