Tired of being sick

So, as the title says, so tired of being sick. Hubs and I both got a head cold in Jan. Got over it eventually, me in time for QuiltCon, which was a good thing. I get home and 2 days later, tada..sick again but with a wheezing cough this time. Oh joy. I'm half way through my misery when the poor hubs gets it again, with a cough for him as well. I'm done with my meds but still wheezy and still with a runny nose. Lets hope it all works out.

But, there is a very small silver lining about all this, you go no where! You stay home and sew.

This first piece I call 3D20. It is the result of a challenge on the FB group, The Improve Handbook for Modern Quilters. As shown in a previous post. Well I looked at the stacked circles and thought..boring. What are other aspects of a modern quilt..alternate grid, asymetrical, minimal..so I thought ok, this is good. I had circles and I wanted a random setting..marbles..I searched for images of piles of marbles. You know, piles like when you toss 8 or 10 on a floor. Then I thought of my old gaming dice. The 20 sided dice is the roundest yet has the flat edges where the numbers are printed. Toss 3 on your roll...3D20.

This pretty piece ( I am really loving it ) Is a very late take on a challenge by the QDAD group of Facebook. It will be done when it tells me it is. I am having too much fun making city blocks right now to stop.

Here is the original inspiration photo. 

So many really stunning quilts were done and the group was given a special exhibit at the 2017 Quiltcon. I am finally working on mine and I'm ok with that.

This little piece I'm just going to call Graple, for all the purples and the circles. It is my attempt at the Sherri Lynn Wood score Rythmic Grid. It is a kind of hard concept to grasp, but also quite simple. You make the block borders zig zag throughout but you do it with random cut squares and strips. It is really fun once you get a handle on it.
