Since the grass cutting was limited to the dry two-thirds of the property, and most all the branches to be picked up were already in a pile that I had to shift over 50 feet, I had plenty of time to sew.
Well, of course, a sewing machine came along for a ride! And fabric and supplies and tools!

| All set up for piecing |
Up on the agenda was Row #5 of the Daring Downton Debacle Challenge Quilt (May’s guidelines). The block had to have quarter square triangles in it. Kind of a happy accident, really, that I am able to repeat the block from March – Castle in the Air, using the same color scheme.
Since I already repeated the Gentleman’s Fancy block row (also known as Mary’s block), this repeated row will complete the balance of the rows & colors I was hoping to achieve.
Late Sunday, I was able to pin up all the rows on the design wall.
It feels good to have the rows all complete - sashing and borders are next. Any ideas? Not yet. I was able to get Season Four of Downton Abbey from the library - maybe that's where I'll find some inspiration.

It''s looking sooo good. You are making such great progress. I really like it.
ReplyDeleteWow, great job! I love your light to dark progression, and the colour flow. I'd love to see it in real life.
