Introducing . . . Afterglow

 Over the long Thanksgiving weekend,

I taught our younger son how to use my rotary cutter.

He had a blast cutting random strings and strips from

 the pile of scrap fabric Chris gifted to me.

(from her Borealis quilt named Free Spirit)

I've finally spent time stitching some of those strings and strips together

and cutting the first few segments for my longtime bucket-listed

Marston-Moran-inspired Liberated Wedding Ring quilt.

Here are the four quarter blocks that form Block No. 1!

And then, there were three blocks . . .

I've named my quilt-to-be Afterglow.

Once Free Spirit and Afterglow are finished

(sometime next year)

Chris and I want to photograph our two quilts together.

In the meantime,

I LOVE playing with these colors!!
