I Like Thursday #131

It's time for I Like Thursday! LeeAnna, over at Not Afraid of Color, encourages us to write uplifting and happy posts. You can visit her page for links to more of these posts. I saw some movement in my front yard and this is what I saw! Five deer were walking in a row. They nibbled on one of my bushes before crossing the street and heading into the woods. They're always fun to watch. I think sometimes they see me through the window but I'm not sure.

I'm up to 4 blocks for my Swoon quilt! These blocks are big (24.5 inches square) and fast! I love making these blocks. I would make this pattern again. It uses 4.25 yards of background and 18 fat quarters. 

I had ordered a wideback from Keepsake Quilting for Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt, Rhododendron Trail. However, due to supply chain issues, the fabric wouldn't be shipped until sometime in April. I decided to cancel that order and pick something new. I just got this in the mail. I feel there are so many colors in it that it would look great backing any quilt. I still have to wash it before I can load it onto the long arm.

I just finished this book and it was wonderful! The main character leaves a recording for her children to listen to after she dies. She has quite a story to tell them. It brings her children together and they discover much more about their family and where they come from. I highly recommend it!

That's my week! My student cancelled her tutoring session today so I'm enjoying a quiet morning at home. Have a great weekend!
