I didn't post yesterday because Friday was an all-rain day here and we used the opportunity to read and sew. I just didn't have enough worth sharing yesterday. But last night Laura finished this quilt top and I made some progress on my blue blocks. The colors in this photo aren't accurate. It's a lot prettier in real life and you will see it again after I get it quilted and bound later in the year. It was a good use of the box of leaf printed fabrics. I finished 30 more blue blocks. I think I'm really going to love this quilt. I have 40 dark blocks and 19 light blocks done for a total of 59 out of 256. I also have 118 mini HST blocks. This was our view on Friday and will likely be part of today too. With rain coming on alternate days we are starting to give up on hiking. The trails here are steep and have lots of areas that collect water. They will be too slippery unless it stops raining for a couple of days. But we can still kayak. Chris and Ian did a long kayak but I decided to do a long walk and a 40 minute HIIT routine. By the time my opportunity to paddle came around I was spent. Today may be my day, depending on the weather. The Cribbage tournament continues and I still haven't won a match. I (red) was way ahead in this game but Ian came from behind to whip me again. After Cribbage we drag Chris in for a game of Scrabble. I did win one of those games but Ian won this one with his judicious use of the J, Z and X. The weather isn't perfect but we are having a lovely time.
We had lobster for dinner last night and it will be our last until we get to Acadia this weekend. It was outstanding, as always. 8/13/2023 07:06:33 pm
Both quilts are looking good. Too bad the trails are so wet. We can't control the weather though. 8/14/2023 07:42:54 am
Laura's quilt top looks great. And yours is coming along nicely, although that is a lot of making the same block. I am sure I would get bored of it before I made it to 256 blocks. 8/14/2023 07:52:01 am
Looks like you are having a great time. I thought you were going to take a blogging break! Too much fun not to share, right?

Laura's quilt top looks pretty, but you KNOW I love the blue. Don't think I've ever mentioned that I like blue before...or have I? Comments are closed.
