A small quilt top

Not a lot to report, but I am sewing a bit.  I dug into my stash of charm squares, mixed several lots to get a good mix of light and medium prints, and came up with this top that measures 52 inches square.

 I made a back for it today, and, to me, it is TOTALLY unrelated to the front.  But it was the best that I could do with limited choices here at home and in this town.  Atleast there IS quite a bit of PINK in the quilt top.  

 The dark print is a pretty, rich, dark pink, althought it is reading as red here. Using my one-by-twos and clamps, as usual,  I thread-basted the quilt this afternoon, in my living room.

  Somehow I'm finding myself still in this 'retro' mode, enjoying the use of polyester battings again.  I think that my mind has chosen to forget what it's like to find one of these polyester-batted quilts BEARDING, with lots of nice little fuzzies protruding ever so meekly from the surface of the quilt.  If that annoying tendency rears it's ugly head, I'm sure that I will go RUNNING back to my cotton batts !  But I'm loving the lightweight feel of these for Summer. 

  I think that I'm going to hand-quilt this one, but haven't decided yet if I will use the Q-Snap floor frame.  

A couple of things to share just to catch up this blog.  

 Here is a baby-sized quilt that I made several months ago......not sure if I shared it then or not.  It's made from a charm pack called "Airmail", I think.

  Last week....


...I made this back for the comfort quilt that my friend is making for herself, for some treatments that she may be undergoing soon.

There's a cross, made from blue pinwheels, in the center.

Below is the front of the quilt, in progress at the time of this photo.

And, one other note, I stopped taking my blood-pressure medication on Monday June 29, 2020.  No problems.
