END OF FIRST QUARTER

 I've been making a Sunrise block, pretty much every day since January 1st.  If I missed a day, I caught up the next time I was in the studio.  Today was the last block needed for this quilt top.  The Seattle Sunrise Q1 quilt is a top!  It's 70" by 84.5" and needs a good pressing.

I was also sewing the cutoffs, from trimming the blocks to size, together and it formed a really long piece, probably over 100".  And I also started just randomly sewing some of the other cutoff parts together because there were so many.  I think these pieces deserve to be a quilt of their own.  There's still a lot of scraps and I'll keep working on those.

Here's what the daily block would look like before I trimmed it to size.  I made them oversized because as I added the curves the blocks would become weird shaped.  

I kept really good records of the time of the sunrise each day, the colors I saw and the conditions.  I made some forms in excel.

I have three more sheets for the rest of the year.  I've been saying that when I finished this first quarter I was done.  But, I thought of an idea that I'd like to try.  So, I'm going to keep records about the next quarter and make blocks for it.... I think.  I just don't want to be tied to making a block every day.  And, I don't want to get way behind either.  So, we'll see how it goes.

7TH ROW OF SUNRISE

 The end of another week.  That means another row on the Sunrise Quilt.  Here's how it's looking so far.

SIXTH WEEK DONE

 I finished up Sunday's Sunrise block and added it to the rest.

That makes six weeks done.

BLUE SKY!

 It's been a while since I've seen blue in the sunrise.  

Here is my block for today's Sunrise block:

ANOTHER WEEK OF SUNRISES DONE

 I finished up the week of Sunrise blocks and added it to the rest.

FOURTH COLUMN DONE

 First thing this morning was to make today's Sunrise block.  It was a beautiful sunrise with lots of colors.

Then it was on to working on the blocks for the fourth row of the Playcation 2022 quilt.  It's now over half way done!

FOUR WEEKS OF SUNRISES

 I made the last of this week's Sunrise blocks and added them on to the rest.  Pretty much four week's of clouds and rain - with the occassional break.

This is four week's done!  

WEEK TWO OF QP2024

 I was soooo excited about the new Quilter's Playcation 2024 with Cheryl Arkison, I could hardly wait for Tuesday to roll around.

But, I was a little disappointed with this week's block.  Cheryl demo-ed a block of strips.  I didn't want to do that at the time.  So, I went a little crazy and made a block with the braided curves, like I've been doing with my Sunrise blocks.  I guess I have them on my mind.

Speaking of which, here are yesterday's and today's Sunrise blocks:
