I'm excited again. I took that darn 30 Minutes of Play down from my work wall - I was so tired of looking at it.
I pulled out the box with the Coordinates blocks and fabrics. I made the block that I didn't make with the Monday Sewcial group from a few weeks back. And, I drew some numbers at random.org and made another one. Ten!
I put them all up on the wall and realized I love it!
Got the binding on Diamond Flare, sewing it by machine on both sides. So, it is done.

I finished up the quilting for the Diamond Flare quilt. It's a pantograph called 'Streamer'.
I got the backing finished for the Diamond Flare quilt, the block of the month of 2023 for Seattle Modern Quilt Guild. I loaded it onto Erik, my Bernina Q24 longarm, and set up a pantograph called Streamers.
I got several rows done before I had to quit for the night. Unfortunately, I shut down the machine without saving the program. I'm in for a headache tomorrow trying to set it up again so it matches what I've already done.
I finished my version of the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild's mystery Block of the Month for 2023 called Diamond Flare by Taylor Krz of ToadandSew.com.
The pattern as presented was to finish at 70" by 70". I prefer rectangular quilts. So, I added another border on the top and bottom to make it 70" by 90".
Here is the finished top:
I got those first three cats I started for Cats in Pajamas done, finally. There was some unsewing and changing of the background color, some resewing, some cussing and more unsewing and resewing.
But, these three are done. Six more to go.
We didn't get around to making another Coordinates block yesterday. So, I pulled my own set of numbers and made my 8th block.
We wanted to go to Starbucks this morning and drink our coffees and have breakfast. He wanted to work on his new iPad. I wanted to sketch.
We're just like the other people we see in here now.
