Quilt without Guilt

I have been spending a little extra time in the sewing room this week as well as doing some work in the garden now that the weather has settled down somewhat it is very pleasant spending an hour or two outside. During the week more scraps were cut into 6 1/2" squares,  2 1/2" squares,  6 1/2" x 3 1/2" rectangles and 2 1/2" x 6 1/2" strips.

I also cut some binding strips.

After doing some 'domestics' and seeing that it was too hot to be outside gardening and the  pantry is quite well stocked with no shopping needed to be done an early start was made in the sewing room after lunch.    I managed to get these  rectangles sewn together, sandwiched and pinned ready for quilting.   This one also used up some more  light teal scraps.

I am going to turn this negative of the COVID-19 virus into an opportunity to do more sewing as more and more closures are enforced on us.    All activities relating to the hospital auxiliary that I am a member of have been cancelled until further notice as is my quilting group.   Fortunately hubs and I are in position where we are not overly exposed but are  mindful as we go about our daily activities.   I guess life as we knew it has changed but hopefully we can all pull together and get through this with common sense.

Thanks Wendy for hosting us again for another fun night of sewing and crafting.
