Things are sorta slow here in PA

I have been having problems with my leg again. So, I am not sitting at the sewing machine but working on making flowers and butterflies for my current project, a quilt I designed in EQ-5.
I can do them while sitting in my recliner with my leg up on pillows.


This quilt will have 147 nine patch blocks. The blocks are only 5 inch by 5 inch so they will be set with a white alternate block. The open altrenate blocks won't be open for long. I will be appliqueing flowers and/or butterflies.

As you can see, in the photo below, the colors I'm using are VERY bright. The finishing plans are to have it machine quilted with a bright variegated thread.

I hope you have a wonderful day.
