Good news, Bad news

Today was a good news, bad news kind of day. Bad news because my youngest child stayed home sick (but no vomiting, thankfully). Good news because I got to stay home and take care of him, which mainly consisted of pushing fluids. And what did I do on my bonus day off? Housework? Although I probably should have, that's no fun to blog about. So instead, I visited some blogs this morning, including a few new ones. That led me to spending waaayyy too much time on Pinterest. Then I eventually went into my studio and guess what I did?
I finished assembling the nine A blocks for Easy Street!!!!!! Here they are just side by side.
This is kind of what they will look like when they're set on point. I am so glad to be done with this step. Now I need to work on block B, but since I'm making my quilt smaller than Bonnie Hunter's, I only need to make 4 of B.

Happy stitching!

I REALLY like your colorway much better than the original. I'm sorry you had a sick child, glad it wasn't too serious, and glad you got to stay home and sew! It probably felt like a free day.

Lovely!!! Your colors are going to be so beautiful! You were smart to make it smaller :*D I'm thinking of doing that next year.

The colors are great! I would have not done housework either - cuz if you stirred up some dust - it might have just made you both sick... so you made the wisest choice!! Seriously!!

Sorry about a sick kid. A granddaughter lives with us and brings home all kinds of good viruses to us.

I did the last two BH mysteries and skipped this year's Easy Street. Now that I've seen everyone's quilts out in blog land I wish I had participated. (I guess it's not too late to copy the pattern off.)

Your Easy Street is going to be perfect in Christmas colors! Hope your little one is feeling better now!
