The coronavirus pandemic is making me nuts right along with everybody else. Our lives are on hold for the foreseeable future. Grocery store shelves are so bare that it's downright scary. We can't get toilet paper, sanitizing wipes, flour, yeast, canned vegetables, canned fruit. There doesn't seem to be a problem with fresh produce or fresh meats though--yet. Over the counter medications are sketchy. If people would scale back their hoarding, there would be plenty to go around. At least I haven't heard that anybody has starved to death yet. I can't see my kids or my granddaughter. Last Monday we had 89 cases of COVD-19 in Maine, today it was up to 253. No, it's not New York, but there's no getting around the fact that it's going to get worse. Truthfully, it's surreal.
I finished Nature Walk this afternoon, which was my One Monthly Goal for March. This is supposed to be for my granddaughter, but I like the colors so much I may keep it for myself, lol.

I started this Sashed Tumblers quilt using a bunch of scraps left over from the Yankee Puzzle quilts my quilt chapter made last spring, and this is really what I want to be working on at the moment. No one else in the chapter seems to be interested in using the scraps, and since I'd like to not continue to store them, I started this quilt. It's another of Missouri Star Quilt Company's tutorials. I have all of the tumblers sewn into rows, only need to add the sashing between the rows, no borders on this one. I may have to add a couple more rows to make it a little longer, but I'll assess after I get the rest of it together.

Congratulation! You got a lot done. Love, love Nature Walk. Tumblers is very interesting with the sashing. I don't think I've seen one like this before. Awesome work.
It is very scary times. Stay safe. ;^)
I'm having the same trouble leaving comments on the blogs with the embedded comment box. I have a google account too and am signed in but it won't recognize me. If everyone would change to this pop up window comment box like you and I have, I could leave comments everywhere.
Great quilt. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish.
I sure do love all those scrappy quilts. It blows me away to see how quickly you whip these all together. I especially love that Nature Walk.
