OK, I've weathered a lifetime of hurricanes, but I've never seen TWO storms in the Gulf of Mexico at the same time!
As my friend Karen (@kareylou on IG) said: "Who had double hurricanes on their 2020 bingo card?!"
We are making the usual preparations, but the storm situation is very fluid. I don't think we will have an accurate forecast for the storm tracks until Sunday evening or Monday morning. The waiting is the hardest part!
In the meantime, fabric therapy helps.
The Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for August is purple, so I found some purple prints and stitched up some 25 Patch Stars.
From a distance, this print looks more like pea soup, but it's definitely got some purple!
Since I didn't start the 25 Patch Stars until the middle of the year, I decided to work backwards and pick up some of the previous RSC colors.
I also pulled out an RSC project from 2019 - Ring of Stars. When I finished all the rainbow scrappy blocks, I wasn't sure if I should add the border as given in the pattern, so I put the flimsy away to marinate.
I brought out the quilt top this week and after laying it out on my bed, decided the border was definitely needed.
The border is made of partial block sections. I finished up the sections yesterday morning; now I just need cornerstones for the four corners of the quilt. Solid fabric squares would work, but maybe mini stars would look good, too. More fabric therapy!
