one month down and counting!

 first off Happy Mothers Day to all, 
hope you all got spoilt as you should...
we couldn't all be together last weekend as YD had to work (staff shortages still!),
so it was postponed til a later date...
my orchids are starting to bloom, very early but always welcome

started this one after seeing one Chookyblue had done on zoom a couple of weeks ago,
managed to cut the sashing units wrong, but will keep them for another project, 
cut more which are the right size...should always check my maths I guess before cutting!

and this is some of them made into blocks, 
was going to do a table topper but think I will have enough scraps to do a lap sized quilt!
and bought myself 2 new bangles from Be. Bangles over on FB, 
they have some wonderful inscriptions, 
go check them out..
plus they also have a fundraiser at the moment, 
as the lady who started the company passed away recently, 
its in her honour and as we come out of this pandemic and all the other stuff going on, 
it's a reminder to be kind to all you come in contact with in life...

well back to cutting binding and doing other odd stuff as it pops its head up...
and maybe finish off some gardening between the showers today..

That is a fantastic scrappy quilt. I love how scraps can truly become beautiful projects. I am glad you are going for a lap size.
