Yes @Ouryve . Should be after 6 weeks.
So brain has to get used to a different perspective on the world so I have been trimming my 4x4 blocks to an equal size ie 8 1/4"
The HST blocks I made to go alongside them are only 7.5" so looking for inspiration now.
Don't want to set up machine today just need ideas.

A lovely weeping wil low.
I used to do a lot of cushions like that. I fact i still have a couple of kits lurking somewhere.
The cushion I use in the SR is one and a couple on a sofa.
There is a big one half finished as well, still strung somewhere.

Just come down from SR.
Sky is darkening so son with damaged hand has asked if I'll drive him to surgery for a dressing change
I have done more than for a couple if weeks and runner is beginning to look like,a runner and not a lot of unpicked blocks.
As I missed yesterday I'll maybe use tomorrow afternoon for sewing. Can't see gardening being done

Thank you @realale that fabric is in fact sashing.
It was the backing of the Kaffe Fasset quilt I made
I'm hoping I have enough fir the border but I very much doubt it

My bad day continued with dropping the iron, which landed hit plate first onto the carpet (less than a year old).
Why oh why does the large iron shape burn have to be right in the middle so can't be covered by furniture.
Nit tested iron and it has meaty bits on the sole plate.
Gave up [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
BUT
did finish the centre panel

Centre panel is done.
About 40 1/2 ins square. It now needs some sashing.
I have a choice of 2, whichever is used for sashing so the other will be used for the border . [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
I am also emptying most of the spools.
Nothing bought in yet
And yes there are some jumps where seams aren't quite level but I am using scraps!
