Meanwhile...

I hope everyone is safe and coping well!

There will be a new Home Again block on Friday to keep us all busy.

I recently rejoined The Quilt Show because I was SMITTEN by their 2020 BOM. I've always loved Sue Garman's quilts and this one looked like a great way to teach myself some new ways to applique. Also, I needed a new quilt for my bed. It's fun to catch up on all the latest quilting while "social distancing"...which I hope you are all doing. Washing hands is not a problem for me since I'm a tad obsessive about that anyway.

So far I've found that my normal method works well for some blocks. For those papercut style blocks I'm using Kay Mackenzie's back basting method. It works really well once you practice a bit!

Love how your blocks are looking! I'm so happy they decided to give up month six early so we can start the rest of the pieced blocks--I've been so anxious to get going on those!
