Anniversary Quilt update

Block #2 is not sewn but ready to start. 

This seems to be the best method to find what fabric I want to use. HeeHee Good thing I can leave that for a few days. 

Wide open desert spaces! Keeps me sane.

If my daughter doesn't get any financial aid soon(like disaster unemployment) it is likely she will need to store all of her apt in a storage unit and stay with us till this thing blows over. 
I've been encouraging her to stay the course and not come home because we are exposed to many people every day (even with social distancing) and she has been so good at isolating. But we aren't seeing any alternatives  right now. I hope you all are doing okay. 
If your state starts to open up, remember you don't have to go out!

  3. Lori tu bloque se ve maravilloso.
    Deseo con toda mi alma que todo esta pandemia termine, y tu hija y todos podamos volver poco a poco a la normalidad, La situación en el mundo es muy mala, en estos momentos en España hay familias con muchas necesidades, nuestro gobierno trabaja sin descanso, cumpliendo todos los consejos que científicos y sanitarios recomiendan, y dando solución a estas familias tan necesitadas

  4. Beautiful Coxcombe block! You're getting so much done on all your projects, good for you. Years from now you'll look back at this quiet yet productive time.

    My heart just breaks for young people like your daughter who have worked so hard to establish good careers and all is lost now.

  5. I just love your quilt along, and your fabric selection method is perfect! I am afraid we are opening for business too soon here...scary times we live in.

  7. I like the plaid combo of fabrics you have used in this block. I often work from a pile of fabrics and don't feel that I have to put it away every day.

  8. Yeah, I intend to keep staying at home for a while to come even though Georgia's governor is set on opening some up. It's a hard line to walk between safety and income for some folks. Hope your daughter gets some relief soon. I am so grateful that I can leave things spread out also. Of course, I do have to break down every once in a while and put things away and clean up down here.

  9. Beautiful colour choice ~ such difficult times indeed, we are a family business here in Melbourne, with our son & daughter working for us, we have had to reduce our staff's working hours. But we do get some help from our government, re: JobKeeper wage subsidy, which is to enable employers to hold onto staff, instead of standing them down.
    Good luck to your daughter, with getting financial help.

  10. Hope your daughter will get help. We all watch the news and see the things going on in your country, it makes me said.
    We are in isolation almost 6 weeks now and we are not there yet. Stay home and stay safe!

  11. This is what I do with wool when color planning. I pick out the possible ones and mix them up on the floor or table and then you can see what it would look like all together. Great for getting the ones that won't work out. I never thought to do this with quilting but I will now. Love the fabrics you chose.

  13. I love your block and your pile of fabric. 😊 I’m not going out for a long time! I have several risk factors and I’m over 65. My daughter-in- law and my son pick things up for me and I do grocery delivery so I’m good. I have enough fabric and one stash to last a good while. I hope things get better for your daughter soon. This is really hard for so many people. You take care and be safe. I live vicariously thru you hikes and beautiful scenery. Hugs,

  14. I am loving your block. I hope your daughter's situation turns around soon. It's just really sad that people are having to make these kind of decisions. Take care and stay safe.

    Glad you are encouraging people to stay safe, especially the elderly and compromised.
