We didn't have proper glasses to view the Eclipse but we sat with our backs to the sun and just enjoyed the hour together! We didn't notice a whole lot of darkening and if I didn't know what was going on, I wouldn't have noticed any difference at all!
Now I did see a big difference on the MQAL;
it is off the quilting frame and has some binding
which I will be sewing in place at quilting group today!
I also arranged all of the pieces from the layer cake to make a lap sized quilt and then thought if I make the blocks 4 x 5 then I can make two quilts out of the layer cake! I will make up the first few rows and see how it sizes out before I commit to anything.
Aside from the size--this kind of quilt is so hard for me--I like order-you know, regular pattern repeats, etc, of traditional blocks so this one is a real stretch for me!
I just kind of squinted and placed colors throughout the space!
And It still looks like abstract art to me! lol
