Paul: What is the matter babe?
Me: Cramps
Paul: Oh no!!!
Me: What?
Paul: I was going to name our daughter Quarantina.
Ten minutes later, when I stopped laughing, I had to ask...
Me: What if it were a boy?
Paul: I hadn't thought about it.
Me: How does Quarantino sound?
Paul: Nah, doesn't have the same ring to it.
Still laughing...
I was one of the pattern testers for Mell Meyer's new pattern - All the Diagonals.
The pattern is released today. Her blogpost shows all the pattern testers' finished tops plus a code for 25% off. A few ambitious testers completed their quilts. Not me. Not yet.
In honor of the superb conversation (with Paul) and the fact that this paper-pieced (not my favorite technique) quilt was made during the quarantine (a difficult time), I have decided that she will be named Quarantina.
As soon as Quarantina is quilted, bound and photographed, I will share all the process pictures from fabric selection to the final finish and a pattern giveaway too.
Rainbow Scrap Challenge's April colors are light and bright blue.
I purposely stayed away from light blues, because light blue would be a poor contrast with the white background. Using medium and bright blues instead.
Here are my blocks.
Do check out other RSC blocks on Angela's linky party. I will be sharing with all my other favorite linky parties. See full list on the sidebar.
Of course I made a mask or two. (It would be unpatriotic not to)
Of course I am wearing a mask. (It is suicidal not to)
I am wearing a mask also to hide my now fully-grown bushy mustache.
Me: Paul, can I use your beard trimmer for my facial hair?
Paul: Babe, you need a lawn mower.
Guess I will keep the mask on.
But don't mask your feelings from me - reveal them in your comments. I am dying to connect with you, even if it is online. Big Hugs from a safe distance.
