April 2020 OMG
It looks like most of April will be spent safe at home, staying away from others as much as possible. The schools here won't be re-opening on Monday. I do need to go to the store this week for fresh fruit.
This month I'm working on three things. I started Milkweed 3 and want to complete that this month. Its a summer version of my milkweed series.
The components are all cut out and the centres and veins have be fused since I took this photo. I think I've also cut out more components since this was taken as a trial layout said there wasn't enough pieces.
The second thing is this little quilt made with blocks I won at the guild block of the month many years ago. The paper with one possible layout was printed from EQ5 which means the blocks have been lingering for more that 15 years if my google searches are correct.
This isn't the suggested layout but I think I like the little stars better so I'll go with it. I found a purple in the stash that will do nicely for a border. It won't be very big. Maybe table topper or baby quilt sized.
The last thing I won't show photos of until June when the exchange is finished. I signed up for the CQA mini swap. I'm making a small quilt for a lady who lives in Ottawa. I'd signed up for a mail exchange. I have the beginning of a design so this month I want to get the design finalized, pick the fabrics and have most of the top made. That will leave May to complete the top, quilt it and be ready to mail it out. We agreed we'd rather have table runners than wallhangings so it will be about 12 x 36 which shouldn't be hard to complete in the allowed time. I'd rather not be scrambling at the end of May so I'm setting goals for it each week.
Hope you are all safe. Linking up with Patty's April OMG
