Spring Rains

 

It has been cold and rainy in Florida. Kurt has been gone all week for work and to visit his dad. Sydney is home for the weekend. She is starting to count down days until she graduates from UF next month. Anna is polishing off all of her wedding plans. The first week in May is going to be a lot!

I spent some time sewing together 10.5 inch squares from men's flannel shirts to make a backing for the log cabin quilt. 
This is the last giant quilt that I want to get finished before I collapse the film down to a smaller size. I need to get that one loaded up and then start to work on the binding for Dear Jane. 

It has been years since I did a scalloped binding, that will take a bit of mental effort. I see that the Artemis II astronauts splashed down. That is nice to hear. I am looking forward to a quiet weekend much closer to home. 
How are your weekend plans shaping up?

You've gotten a lot of quilt sewing done in the last few weeks! I'm excited to see your Dear Jane finish and the log cabin quilt, too. Hope it warms up for you soon!

Love the layout on the Log Cabin quilt, Angela. Wow, that thing is a BEAST!!! Best of luck with the quilting, Syd's graduation, and Anna's wedding.

Plaid flannel makes a wonderful backing for a scrappy log cabin. Great choice! My weekend - 2 quilting groups meet today, so that should be fun.

Have a lovely weekend! We are also having rain in Houston, which should help the flower in our yard.

Exciting that your Dear Jane is getting closer to a finish. That is such an amazing piece of art!

Woah! That is going to be a busy May. Hope you can get the big quilt quilted so that you can break it down and give yourself some more room to move.

I like that backing idea - that will be a great one for the cabin. Wow - graduating and weddings.. you will be VERY busy!

Sounds like you've got lots of family stuff going on. May is already pretty busy. The flannel shirt backing for the log cabin blocks is a fun idea. Stay dry!
