Taking a break from the serious stuff for a few moments… (although my quilting friends are bound to take issue with that, quiltmaking being very serious stuff of course!)

Back in March I mentioned I was making a Grandmother’s Garden Quilt. It wasn’t going to be the usual kind of Grandmother’s Garden quilt, but something a little different based on the quilt featured on the cover of a quilt book by Jaynette Huff and published in 2005 by Martingale & Company, USA. It was going to take 750 fabric-covered paper hexagons and I had managed to get a whole 63 of them already done.

Well, here I am reporting in again with some progress. Since then I have done another 266. And there they are, all 329 of them spilled out into a pile on the floor for you to see. That is an average of around 5½ a night between then and now. I do think I had better get cracking and improve my nightly rate. That should surely be possible with the calibre of national TV here at present. Nothing worthwhile watching does mean I can pay better attention to what I am doing.
