“I have given skill to all the skillful, so that they may make all that I have commanded you. “ Exodus 31:6


“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.
Walter Rauschenbusch

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

I'm HAPPY to say that I LABORed on this DAY !

And what fun labor it was......from 8 a.m. 'til 8 p.m., with plenty of normal household stuff in-between.........working on Jodie's quilt top.

I got it all cut out except for the large pink and green setting triangles.......they'll have to wait until the blocks are all pieced and squared up, to give me the cutting size.
I pieced half of the quarter-square triangle units, before giving in to the temptation to lay out one block.  Then, of course, I wasn't satisfied until I actually PIECED one whole block, to see how it would finally look.  The seam-pressing gets a little tricky with the bulk of the triangle squares, but I think I"ve worked it out satisfactorily.
So, how's this one look?  Not bad?

Next time I sit down to piece, I'll finish all of the quarter-squares and then start on the half-squares for the center of the block.......half of the half-squares are planned to be red and green, and the other half, red and pink.
