Sunday for me is one of the best days of the week and one of my “not so best” days of the week too…
I love the time between 8:45 am and 12:30 pm because I spend it with my extended family at our church. It’s a wonderful way to start my week and I look forward to going back from Monday on. Another great part of Sunday is the Sunday nap. Nothing feels better than a nap in the middle of the afternoon. Especially during football season; we come home from Church and my husband watches football and I can take a nap. It’s the only day of the week for me this can usually happen.
So makes you ask what exactly then is the bad part of Sundays??? Well…. its laundry day and get ready for the work and school week day. Because of all of that I don’t normally have a lot of time to quilt especially the beginning of a quilt when I’m designing and piecing it together. I tend to do most of that work on Saturdays. Once everything is pieced together and I start to quilt I can sit anywhere in the house and quilt between all the other chores.

I started the background yesterday by cutting rectangles of all different links to give it a more organic feel. This is a night scene & fall season quilt so the top is a combination of two starry night materials and a dark navy material. The bottom is a green with orange and yellow mixed in, one with a dark dirt color and green mixed in and a brown with leaves. The idea being in the fall you will see all of these colors on the ground. My rectangles are not perfect because my 11 year old broke my rotary cutter. The background will be sort of crooked but I think it will add to the organic feel of it. This is defiantly more of an art quilt. But I think those are my favorite!
I will sew all of the pcs together this week and take a picture of it..
