I got all three Piecing the Past blocks finished. The Ohio Star Variation was easy peasy. The fabric requirements for this quilt included a variety of fabrics in these colors: red, blue, gold, green, brown and orange. I have decided that with the fabrics I had on hand, the orange just isn't working.
I remade this block from last week. I took out the orange and replaced it with this gold fabric, which I like much better. I think the colors will be more cohesive without the addition of the orange. I like orange, just not for this one.
I did not do the Moda BlockHeads block for this week. It involves a lot of applique, which I will do on the machine, but there is still a ton of prep etc, so I think I will leave it for the weekend.
Hope your week is going well. We took Eva to get take out lunch at Subway yesterday. They had removed all the tables and had patches on the floor that you were supposed to stand on to keep a safe distance apart from other customers. One poor woman came wandering in without a clue and cut past everyone and went right up to the counter where someone was ordering and got scolded and told to keep back. They had plexiglass shields hanging by the cash register so the employees would have something between them and the customers. It was so unlike the old days before Corona Virus. It has become a different world. The sandwich sure tasted good though. We brought them home and had a picnic on the back porch.
Have a wonderful day however you spend it!

I like the gold & especially the print in last week’s remade block. Your Subway story makes me wonder…how could the poor woman be so oblivious to the line AND how does she navigate the new normal each day? She must have been so embarrassed. A picnic on the porch sounds perfect! Stay well!

I like your choice in replacing the orange. I have a lot of Kansas Troubles also. I can count on one hand the number of quilts I have used orange and. they were mostly kids quilts.
I work at a local quilt shop and we are allowing only 3 customers in at a time and that is by appointment. It is definitely a different way to shop. I went to the store the other day and was excited to get paper towels, toilet paper, liquid hand soap refill and hand sanitizer! Felt like I won the lottery!

Your blocks are very pretty. I find myself drawn to handwork these days. Not sure why. I guess it is comforting me for some reason. I need to get back to my sewing machine! Have a good day!

My comment today is more in response to your other commenters. During these trying times, we need to give each other a bit of slack. For instance, I am an older senior citizen who has not been out for 2 months. I’m sure I will feel like the deer in the headlights when I do go out again, not knowing how to navigate the new shopping systems. I hope the other shoppers will meet me with kindness and consideration.

I really love that gold! Excellent choice. It is gonna be a beautiful quilt. Yes, everything has changed.
I can’t imagine how they are going to keep kids 6 ft apart from each other at school. No playing together? No hugging their friends? The teachers won’t be able to squat down next to a desk to help a student? It is all just awful. 🙁

Love your block progress! They have two different pieces blocks instead of the applique one, a cute tulip one from Joanna and someone else. You may want to do those instead of the applique one.
