Ugh, Mondays, oh and Monday mystery solo robin

May 4, 2020

Amazing, lockdown can’t remove that Monday morning effect. Despite the days blending together Monday still likes to stand out. Yesterday Fenrir decided to chew the towel he had as bedding. I thought I caught him doing it before any went in him. Seems I was wrong as we have puddles of poo this morning. A two man clean up operation and a dog to shower. Just glad we have a walk in shower near an outside door. I didn’t want to walk that through the house. I am guessing the cat who woke me at 5.30 was trying to get me to clean up the stink. Sigh. Mondays.

I think I need the fun bit of Monday morning now. Let us see what the cards have in store for the week ahead. Our border size this week is,

Add 4″ to two opposite sides of your quilt.

The technique we need to include is,

Include rectangles

For our diamond challenge I think kites would probably also count. My first thought it piano key, but that seems a bit of a weak answer. Maybe I could go kinda bargello looking, or a brick pattern. I have to wait for some deliveries today so I am hoping I can work on these borders will I watch the front window. I guess I could go for something that would look like my applique border but with rectangles. That might be fun. I could possibly piece something like that. Hmm OK this has potential. I just need to think…..and maybe coffee.
