SORRY, KERMIT, ET AL

                                                 Too Too green,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
                           [apologies to my friend Kermit, the Frog]
                                               
                       All you see is KAPOW--👀👽👾😝
                                                 green green green....
                                                       6 rows of it--
                                                          down down down...

                                      So now what?  

                 Not crazy about these either....gold and pale blue.....

Perhaps these strips should be divider rows themselves in between 
bigger blocks of some sort? 

                                  I just cannot figure this one out...
so,  it will sit on my "time out"  wall and see what happens...

                                    💁 Hello, quilt Fairy???👸

maybe she will come and
figure out a solution for me.....
                                              or not ;(((((
*********************
In the meantime, in between time, I am making great progress
on Swiss Crosses:↓↓↓↓ My happy place quilt;))))

I am so enjoying this slow quilting process...
               I am just quilting on the white fabrics and
                      leaving the burgundy to stand out....
                              One and one-half more triangles to finish...

I rarely use white in my quilts--but this piece has really changed
my thinking...I love how the hand quilting looks on the 
white/off white fabrics...💗💝

[This project is from  Lori at (click) Humble quilts...thank you👍]
*****************************************************
And that is where I am in this interim between Christmas and
New Year celebrations....

and this is FRIDAY? RIGHT?
Mid week holidays always get me bamboozled as to what day
it really is!! 
Uh.............. have I said that before????? hahahaha
********************************************* 
We are having leftover meatloaf tonight --sandwiches and fries--
easy dinner--
then... I am soaking some Navy beans and de-frosting
a small piece of ham for my Senate Bean soup which I will be making
tomorrow...we just love soup around here...

Quiet days..........thankfully...;))))

"FLU- SHOT- ARM" EDITION

WELL, they're all sashed and up on my wall--BUT: yesterday the hubster and I got our annual flu shots....my left arm is useless for now.  Last night I could not get comfortable at all so was

up at 1, 2:30, 3:15, etc...aaargh!!  Of course, hubby had no reaction....and so it goes....

Anyhoo....that is my excuse for its not being together....okay...here is how two of my favorite blocks came out:

I just love that fussy cut little sailboat--perfect for Sea Glass--you can also see the sort of tie-dyed sashing I finally chose ....

And another block I like is this one:

That little sea flower poking through....this is really a different type quilt--very low value and scrappy  from a distance despite some of the brighter spots....I am hoping that the final borders will be able to pull it together better--right now it seems kind of "blah" to me....

Or, too busy or just....something off...I hope to be able to sew these blocks together tomorrow--if my arm allows me to work (just trying to lift it is quite painful...poor baby...[lol])
Perhaps some little "sea themed" appliques at the sashing junctions?? So far no ideas seem to work...maybe I need to not "LOOK AT IT" so much...really, sometimes I just get so intense about things....{sigh}....

I will hook up tomorrow with RSC13 light blue as I think the sashings do contain a very pastelly (is that a word??) type of blue.
  
For now I am your Julierose, La Blageuse
