Today, I was off to a late start. I just did not want to get out of bed. I had a late night at my mother's new place doing some renos and Maddie, my 11 mth old puppy was up at 5:00 am getting sick. Once everything settled, I lay down with her on her large doggie bed and we both fell asleep. Come 7:30 am my son came to take over. From there it was a quick shower and clean up the kitchen.
All I wanted to do was play in my quilt room, but some things just need to be done. Later in the morning I took a break with a cup of tea in my quilting studio. I am seeing bits and pieces of things that need to be done here, but again, all I want to do is play.
So......what do you think I did. Not really a difficult question to answer, is it? Of coarse I did some playing.
Some time back in April, one of our quilting bee members gifted me with several UFOs that she had decided to have someone else finish. One of them was a bunch of strip sets in solid colours. Once I cut them up, I had enough to make 30 half squares. Today, that is what I pulled out to play with.

It's a cloudy day here today, with on and off rain. A perfect day to settle in the quilting studio and sew. I cut and sewed on a black half square to the strip set half squares to make the sunshine and shadow block. I set the squares in the traditional layout. By 3:00 pm I was done the top, borders and all. The finished top measures 50" X 57". A nice size for a charity/give away quilt.
So, even while playing, I did get some stuff from my list done. This way I don't feel so bad.
