Actually, it's been more like two do-nothing weeks.
I was rolling along, making good progress on a number of things, then I hit a creative wall. Part of the problem is trying to regain momentum after being out of the house for several hours. Last week it was PT on Monday and Wednesday (30 minutes into town) with a trip to Nashville (2+ hour drive) for doctor/dentist visits stuffed in between on Tuesday. I did manage to get one piece near the finish line
I originally had five rows of blocks but it was out of proportion. Not sure what I will do with it -- maybe a wheelchair quilt or a baby quilt. I think it needs a border, but I'll need to shop my stash for something to go with it. The remaining blocks will become a table runner.
Not only am I not yet driving, but we are down to one car after a pick-up recently smashed into the rear side of Alex's car (just a few feet behind my seat!) So on Friday I asked a friend to get me out of the house to get a Valentine for Alex. We incorporated lunch into the trip. I forgot to text Alex that I had been invited out and he returned home from his charity work to an empty house! Oops.
As I reported earlier, I had a plan for Round 3 of the SAHRR and was hoping that Round 4 could be blended into it. I'm still cogitating on what should be a simple "extemporaneous" block; I'm having trouble fitting it into an otherwise "formal" setting. So this is where I stand after Round 3 ...
I credit Diann/Little Penguin with the inspiration to incorporate Round 3 into the corners. I can't attach the corners until I make Round 4. I'm hopeful that I will have a solution before the end of today!
(Apologies for the poor quality of photos lately. I'm learning a new phone and most of my photos have to be made while I'm sitting.)
Your pink and gray quilt is pretty! That same pink from the sashing (or something similar) would make a great border. I love that idea to use the corner square from the previous border of your SAHRR to anchor the star blocks!
