Sorting bits and pieces

I decided to tackle sorting the pile of African fabrics first. In the pile are 2 1/2" strips

3 1/2" strips

and 5 1/2" squares

that I had used to made these quarter log cabin blocks

I sorted thru the blocks and found that I had not trimmed all of them

after trimming

there were enough for a baby quilt which I got sewn together

there were enough blocks for another top which I laid out on the design wall

and blocks for part of a third quilt. I only need to make seven blocks to have enough for this third top.

With all the fabric leftover I plan on making 16 patch or 25 patch blocks pairing up a solid fabric with the prints. I have no idea how many baby quilts I will get out of these bits and pieces.

Peter is still in the green jersey. The 2019 TDF's last stage is Sunday.

I went out to water the squash and one of the plants is trying to escape the fencing!

I cut the fence so I could tuck it back in. I have a feeling I did not give the plants enough room. They are growing like crazy!

At work we are getting ready to turn over another space to the owner. This space is called Central Sterile and it is where they clean stuff - carts, linens, and I am not sure I want to know what else if you know what I mean. There is protective covering on the stainless steel wall covering right now and the wall need another coat of paint. Final inspections are scheduled for electrical, fire alarm, plumbing, and HVAC so we are getting close to being able to drop pads (that is installing the ceiling tiles in the grid) so all the new equipment can be installed by the Owner's contractor.

The other day my brother sent me a picture of Basil on his quilt

I guess he must like it!
