Ditto Quilts--and Books

Broken Dishes top is finished, Gypsy blocks are moving right along, and I won a Goodreads Giveaway.

Once I figured out how I wanted to do the border everything fell into place.

I had just enough leftover reds plus the fabric I recently purchased to add two borders. So I can check this project off my list--for now :)
 

I'm really into these Gypsy Wife blocks. I make one almost every day. . . 

. . . with no real plan. Notice the 4 dark blue squares in this block?

Here is that fabric in the Postage Stamp quilt I made in 1977.  

 

From a distance the red/white windowpane check looks pink. 

 

 

I'm not sure about this one at all!

 

 

I made this little sunsuit for my daughter when she was two. Would you believe I still had scraps of that red fabric? Just enough for this block.

I've mentioned before that I keep track of the books I read on Goodreads.com. It's not very often that I enter their giveaways but I did--and won! 

Last year I read twenty-five books and entered the 2017 challenge to read twenty this year. We listen to audio books on our trips upstate and those have to have a lot of action to keep our interest :)

Have a wonderful week!
