What a difference a week or two makes. I'm feeling much, much better. I felt like sewing again this week. First I cut a bunch of red 2.5" squares and HST pieces with my Accuquilt GO! I made the letters D and P in red for the GO! ABCs Throw Quilt Pattern. You can find the free pattern here. It's fitting that Angela post this week is called RED LETTER DAY.
I finished the red log cabin blocks for the Stay Centered quilt. Stay Centered is a design by Sheila Van Der Linden. I found the free pattern on the APQS website here.
Four rows are now finished of the Stay Centered quilt. There are only orange and purple rows remaining to be made.
I have a few red plans for May:
2. I will continue to make rail fence blocks.
3. Full Stop blocks.
5. Veggie Patch blocks: (2) radishes, (2) chili peppers, (2) bell peppers, (2) tomatoes
6. Find my red basket blocks made about 10 years ago for my Table Scraps Challenge with Joy.
That should keep me busy in red.
