Cathy, I enjoy the bright colored strips when it's gloomy outside.  Makes a good distraction and ends up being something useful It is mindless and meditative.

Glad you liked the photos.

Though I see you have already joined these 4 blocks...if you make two more, I would consider adding them in the center....

I won’t be adding them in the center.  They will go top or bottom....each of those blocks are different fabrics.  I just gotta find similar ones.  Way too much work to take these apart for a scrappy quilt.

finally binding is done, quilt is up on the wall in front of my machine where I can enjoy it.  Though it isn't the best place to display as my machine hides part of it.  for now I want to enjoy it here, then may put it in another room down the road.

You have another room down the road?  haha  JK  

well no - the house has been put on hold for now- trying to build right now is just too crazy.  But I will likely trade it out with either the one in the living room or outside our bedroom.

That is just gorgeous. :-)

That looks so good. Now every time you sit at the machine you can enjoy it!

Definitely.  Just wish the box didn't stick up so far.  I might see about raising the rod if I don't decide to put it in another room.  Your check just went to the mail box with DH, BTW.  Pretty sad when I don't want to leave the house even to drive up the road 10 minutes.  I'm turning into a hermit.

I've noticed the same thing about myself!  Mr. Pirate actually enjoys grocery shopping, so he does all of that.  He asks every time if there is anything special I want, whether it's at the grocery store or not.  And if the item (non-crafty!) is elsewhere, he'll happily motor on over to the other store to get it.

Some days I'm doing good to walk down our driveway to the mailbox!
