On Thursday, we had the most beautiful weather. Blue skies except for an hour or two of clouds when we thought it might rain. It didn't. The day was cool enough and windy enough to open the windows and let the breeze blow through the house and billow the curtains. Outside, the branches of the trees swayed in the wind. Just glorious! I wish I'd taken photos. If every summer day could be like that one, I'd love summer!
These are the last of my orange RSC blocks. (Linking to
Angela's RSC blog.)
I have 10 now, probably too many for the quilt I'm hoping to make. On
the other hand, having so many will offer me options when choosing blocks
to use. And orange also happens to be the favorite color of one of my grandsons. I could make some more and have enough for a quilt for him. But you know how fast children's favorite colors change.... (And considering how little I like orange, I'm sure I'd struggle making enough for a whole quilt.)
Vertigo has been visiting again this week so my only accomplishments are finishing these orange blocks and finishing the bindings on Everyday Patchwork and Parsonsfield. I'll post about those when I can get some decent photographs.
I hope you have a great weekend.

Our heat has not been too high yet. We had rain for about 2 days and the most incredible winds that not only billowed but blew quite a few branches off trees. I have had episodes of vertigo over the past few weeks. The worst is when I lay down on my left side. I use a bit of Dristan nasal spray. The doctor suggested an antihistamine for allergies.
ReplyDeleteWe had 2 days of 100 degree weather and the most blustery winds Winnie the Pooh could ever imagine. And then today we are 74 degrees - crazy! I'm glad you are able to quilt a little in spite of the vertigo. This June has been so busy for me. It has felt like December when everyone keeps planning parties and one feels like they would offend if they didn't go. (I'm just not a party person - sigh) Hope you can have some more good summer days.
ReplyDeleteVertigo us a nasty condition, so I've heard, my sympathies to you. That's lots of pretty orange blocks you've made.
