Monday Meandering 5 - 22 - 2017

Just a quick post this morning before I head back home.   I can share a pic of my Scrappy Stars quilt that I worked on almost exclusively at retreat.

This shows the rows laid out but not sewn together.  As it got later in the afternoon/evening as I was working on this Saturday I started messing up where the stars were being placed.  (I had an EQ printout of how I wanted the quilt to look.)  When I finished all the rows this is how it would look. (That beige on the side is carpet!) 

Um, no, I absolutely do not like those two light aqua squares together.  I fussed around with the layout once I was back at Sharon's house and came up with a new layout and I'm going to add one more star as it seemed bare of stars in the middle.  I'll get a new picture of it once all the rows are sewn together.  But first, I need to drive home. 

Goals were almost all achieved last week.
