Rainy Day/Sewing Day

It was a rainy Monday. After lunch, the aide came to care for my mother-in-law so I had 2 hrs to play . I went to my sewing room. To get my sewing juices flowing, I started by sewing a few scrappy string quilt blocks. They were added to my collection of scrappy string blocks that I will some day put together. I don't have any rhyme or reason when I put these together. The only rule is that i don't repeat a print in the block. Love the way they turn out !



Then I put the outer borders on this baby quilt. The pattern is called Sidelights. Very quick & easy quilt to put together. Like those type of quilts! Although, I do like a challenging one from time to time. As was the next quilt pictured..... LOL

I put the final border on my mystery quilt. Yeah!! This will now hang on my quilt rack waiting to be sandwiched & quilted.For the picture, I took the other ones off the rack. I think it's # 4 in line. It was a good sewing day :) Thankful for the rain & my sewing room & the free time I have once in awhile. Often my sewing room is where I have my quiet time.

I know arriving at that finished Sidelights baby quilt wasn't easy for you, and now that I see how great it turned out, I was glad to have been a part of the decision-making process. I also love those strippy blocks! Always love scrappy looks. Happy rainy day!
