Design Wall Monday and Weekly Goals

I saw these blocks on Wedding Dress Blue blog.  They were easy and fun and I made them using 5" charms from my charm box.  I found a large piece of white background in my basement so maybe it was meant to happen.  

These finish to 16"--a generous size block, simple but striking.  I will make several at a time and swap out each quarter section to have more random color placement.  Please see everyone's Design Walls at Patchwork Times.

Weekly Goals--

1. Finish binding a quilt
2. More 16" stars
3. Sew scrappy trips rows together

Its going to be a busy week.   Ken is doing the farmer thing, we've had a few drips of rain, not any real rain but enough to keep the top of the ground sticky.  This weekend is Asher's baptism.  And--our neighbor's house burned down Tuesday night and she died.  She lived on the corner, next was her daughter with her two small children, and then our house.   She was only 64yo, had taken early retirement from teaching.   Its a "bad things happen to good people" moment.  My heart aches for her daughter and grandchildren.

More volunteering this week, I do love volunteering!  School groups on field trips--sometimes a bit loud but so much fun!  Toni and Eddie are back, and we have new neighbors--I'll have to get pictures and introduce them.  

I need to plan some flowers and the garden, not much but if Mason is here later this week maybe we can plant something.  After last year's drought there are patches of dead grass that maybe should be reseeded.  Maybe some flowers.  

What plans do you have this week?
