I have been enjoying the Netflix membership that my son got me for my birthday. I watched Veronica Mars seasons. I am on the last season now. It was a really good show. I got a couple of discs of "Northern Exposure" a show that was on quite a while ago. It was quirky. If I could watch it instantly instead of having a DVD I would watch the rest of the seasons. I realized that I can access netflix on my TV and on my phone. At least I know that I will never be bored if I have to wait anywhere.
I finished "Mockingjay" in a couple of days and gave the 3 books to my daughter to read. I downloaded some digital books to listen to. It is so much easier for me to get books in that way. I have been trying to get through a book called "The Passage". It is my bedtime read. I usually get to tired to get past a few pages. So now that I have it downloaded, I will be able to "read" it and still get other things finished.
Today is a nice sunny moderate day. It has been a relaxing few days off. I didn't have a lot of activities planned. But I have actually got some quilting in. One of my co-workers was just diagnosed with breast cancer, so I am making a quilt. Unfortunately pink is her favorite color so I had to go out and buy some because it is the one color that I don't have in my stash.
I started with a bunch of fat quarters and I cut 2.5 inch strips.
It is a pretty simple straightforward design. Light/Dark 4 patch as a center block
Unfinished at 4.5 inches .
Each 4 patch is bordered by 2.5 in strips of the contrasting color
Two 2.5 x 4.5
Two 2.5 x 8.5
The block is 8" finished. I am going to make 20 of each.
I will have to go and get more fabric to finish it up (borders, binding,back)
Happy quilting!! teri

This is for me right? It looks like the half quilt I asked for :-)I LOVE the colors. It's beautiful
Love your blocks. I have a really nice link for some audio books that are all free. I will find it and if I can find your email I will send it to you. I just found it and downloaded 2. You may have it already though.
