(SIP = Shelter in Place, obviously)
I fiddled and fussed with the arrangement of the house blocks so the light and dark frames alternated. I've sewn the bottom five rows together.
The letters turned out okay BUT I don't think I'm going to use them on the front of the quilt.
That's because if I use this as a bed quilt -- all 90 blocks with a border = approx. 82 x 90 -- I don't think I'd like Shelter in Place across the middle.
Shelter in Place could go on the back along with other phrases that are now part of our every day vocabulary.
Or these words could be an entire quilt on their own. ("Words to Live By, 2020.")
P.S. More masks! (483 in all.)
Linking up with
Finished or Not Friday
and
Whoop Whoop
"You're still on Mute!" has got to be one of the most frequently phrase I hear these days!

ReplyDeleteYour shelter in place quilt is so fabulous. What a memory this is for such a difficult time in our lives. I think it would be amazing to pass it along to the next generation. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI like your idea of using CV-19 phrases on the back! Your houses all look so cheery.

ReplyDeleteYou are a mask making marvel! That is incredible!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your Shelter in Place quilt... I love the words on the front! But if you're going to make more words, maybe you are starting a whole other quilt?!?
I actually kind of like the words where you have them, Nann. Words to Live By, 2020 does sound like it could be another quilt entirely!
ReplyDeleteWhether you make it as a backing or an entirely new quilt I think a words to live by 2020 quilt would be a fun one.
ReplyDeleteSo are you going to use all the mask making scraps in a quilt? You must have lots and lots of them by now.
What fun - The words on the front look cool framed by the houses - what a great quilt to commemorate this time
ReplyDeleteYou are the mask-making Queen! Way to go! Another phrase for the Words to Live By - 2020 quilt: “Better six feet apart than six feet under”. Oh! I love those houses!!
