Colorado and over in E. Maryland.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, though I would like to be fiddling along the lines suggested to me in these pinned up little snippets, <strong><em>I really need to focus on completing the single bed quilt for grandson #2<\/em><\/strong> who now qualifies for it having overcome the hurdle of sleeping all night in his own bed. Of course this has not snuck up on me, I have just been procrastinating, but the block construction is well underway, perhaps 25%, and I plan to knock the rest over, today, if I can stand it&#8230; but might be forced to include some arrangement of plain blocks without any piecing in them to more quickly build the top! <a href=\"http:\/\/picasa.google.com\/blogger\/\" target=\"ext\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; moz-background-clip: initial; moz-background-origin: initial; moz-background-inline-policy: initial\" alt=\"Posted by Picasa\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/photos1.blogger.com\/pbp.gif\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the workshop I held here a couple of weekends ago, I found myself using offcuts from a quilt I made last year- including a few blocks I abandoned from the final piece, for one reason and another.
