Ding Ding Ding!

 Red and Blue fabric has arrived, been washed, ironed and cut into strips. I have been making one triangle at a time and tossing it up on the design wall to see how it goes. So far so good.

Yes, I also used some dinosaur fabric in this quilt. What the hell.

I was not really worried about arranging this yet. Just getting blocks made and tossing them up on the design wall. There is a very particular way they are arranged, so by this time, after I get a pair of fabrics sewn together into a four strip set (like the photo above) I considered where best to place it in the quilt and cut the triangle accordingly.

This isn't it by any means, but it gives you an idea of where I am headed. I am pretty pleased. It will be a great summer quilt. For somebody.

About the Spelling Bee: I've played since the start and for months I was thrilled simply to get to Genius on my own. That was pretty normal. One day, quite by surprise I hit Queen Bee ABM, as they say in the Community. A few months later I realized there are HINTS, and then later I realized some hardy folks like Steve G and Kline and Jenn and many other leave nifty hints on the community bulletin board. Once I figured that out, I was able to reach QB regularly. Daily in fact. Now I strive to get the pangram on the first word. I did that today (5/18/23) and then I discovered there were FOUR pangrams today. I got the second one pretty quick, struggled with the third and got the fourth as my very last word which gave me QB status.

I asked my boss where he liked fishing the best, the ocean or a local lake or pond. His reply was terrific, and I thought you'd all enjoy hearing it:

"I like fishing so much I'd fish in a puddle."

GREAT line!
