The day's almost over but I've been able to put a few stitches into these wheel-like stars for a "Sweet Land of Liberty" block I'm making for Lorl's sew-along at Humble Quilts. They've already been rearranged again since this photo, for maybe the third or fourth time. Trivia question: How many ways can three colors be arranged? Surely not that many! But then I've tried a few other colors, too.... I think I've settled on the colors above. Except maybe that green.... (Oh, my indecisive nature.)
I love the opportunity Sunday provides to set aside worldly things, focus on the things of God, attend church and renew covenants, and generally find peace in my world. I hope you have, or have had now that it's evening, a quiet, peaceful Sabbath.
I'm linking this post to Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts. Thank you for hosting, Kathy.

Love your star/flowers! Beautiful! I couldn't make mine look right so I settled for plain stars.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jann. Cheri's stars are a little (maybe a lot) out of kilter. I think it's the idea of stars and yours look perfect to me. Everyone seems to be adapting and adjusting the quilt to make it her own. I think that's one of the great things about Cheri and her patterns.
DeleteI fuss with my color placement which can slow my project down. Some Sunday stitching at the end of the day can be quite relaxing. I look forward to Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching every week even if some days I am unable to stitch.
ReplyDeleteYes, when we fuss (or as some might say, play) with colors placement things do slow down a bit. For me, nearly everything before cutting and sewing take me longer than the cutting and sewing. I hesitate, am indecisive, reconsider colors, play, and eventually cut and sew.
DeleteI like Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching, too. I don't always get to participate or even check the links but when I can, it's a pleasure.
