6 blocks into my quilt. It is going to be hand dyes and batiks for a while here as I work on the New York Beauty blocks.
The kids started a puzzle with me today. Willingly! Being stuck in the house together has a good side too. I had a friend come back with positive test results today so I am feeling a little freaked out. The numbers are all getting really big, but that isn't the same as having a face to tie to the count.
I finished the last block for the New York Beauty quilt. I'm thinking that a nice solid border and then some flying geese might work. I feel like the left side fits together more than the right side. Any words of advice on block arrangement? I feel like the yellow needs to rotate to meet the teal in the bottom center. Then maybe the light purple should move? I"m working through this now as I look at the photo. It is sideways on the design wall which makes it look very different.

I hope your friend has a quick recovery. We’ve had 2 cases in our county. But not knowing who they were makes it hard to know whether or not we may have come into contact. Staying home except for grocery store run. I have 3 online classes and my students haven’t gotten much done. I don’t know if they don’t have good access to the Internet at home or just have no motivation.
Your blocks are gorgeous!
Trade out the orange one on the left since the arc is a continuation of the red above. Maybe put the green spikey one in from the bottom right corner. I have never tried making one of these. They look intriguing. Maybe not the green one since the yellow is also spikey.
How can it be Day SIX already?!?! Best of luck with the puzzle and NYB arrangement. So sorry to hear about your friend's diagnosis. Super scary stuff!!
I hope your friend recovers quickly! It is scary stuff out there, glad your family is making due with family time - my daughters and I have been doing a lot of texting and I'm on the computer too much - I must buckle down and stop checking the numbers and the news pages so much or I will be too stressed. Love your quilt blocks
those blocks look great! maybe do some shuffling? the lights are clumped together. and if you rotated taht bottom right green, that might help. turn it in, so your eye goes back to the center of the quilt. not off the edge.
I hope your friend is ok.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend... hope they recover quickly.
We are on total isolation here this week... everything is closed except grocery stores.
That is scary when it is someone you know - I prefer to hunker down inside and pretend its not happening... but that makes it more real - hugs to you and yours! Love the houses!!!
