I chose a chocolate brown moda, for my sashing, its your choice of color you would like to use for sashing.
Because I spend so much time placing my blocks in each row, I mark each row at beginning patch with the row number using a piece of masking tape and marking the row number on the tape. This way I don't mix up the patches. Do this for all 7 rows.
That's all I could do for today. Icing down my knee and giving it a full rest before I do anymore.
You can choose not to add sashing and just sew your blocks together side by side. (see photos and you can decide for yourself) I prefer adding the sashing as it breaks apart the patches and you can see them better, also will give you a larger quilt. I am making this one large enough for full size bed.
Wayne has his day planned today, he had the garden rota tilled and is planting tomato plants today. I think its a little early, but he thinks he will be fine. If not he will be covering the garden at night to keep away any frost. A friend or ours is going to share our garden this year, so the two of them are out there playing in the garden.
After I finish resting my leg, I am going to go outside and enjoy the warm weather. Maybe pull some more weeds, (darn weeds) and clean flower pots to get ready to plant new flowers. Not sure when I should plant my flowers, weather keeps changing and still gets pretty cold at night. Don't want to lose any new flowers to a frost.
