What? She Still Sews?!

 I pulled out the bin with all of the scraps from the Starry Splendor quilt.

The pinwheel blocks are from the flying geese blocks 

and the four patches are from the left over fat quarters.  

The layout on the left are what I laid out first 

(the color arrangement isn't as important in this step as the kind of setting I find that works)

 but I found that they all kind of muddied out and didn't show their shapes!

I added the brown squares to see how that would work-I liked it, so I rearranged a bit-

 and liked the difference in the arrangement but it was too long and narrow!

 Oh, yes, I was feeling like I found what I needed 

and there were no blocks left over or lacking with this layout!!!  

Perfect, I think.

And then I added the borders and sure enough, I have the quilt top

 ready to stitch together another day! 

First I will rearrange the blocks so there are not clumps of colors and then sew the rows.

 (The other border goes on top but I couldn't reach up there!)

I tried something new on the knitting machine!
I only had a few glitches but I am getting quicker on the solution now!

And by the end of the day, I had a pair!
(100% wool DK yarn worked on the LK150)

In the kitchen, I used 10 persimmons

 and 1 fresh pineapple

to make 9 ars of jam.
Bill asks me to make some every year-
and since I am on a roll this year, I gave it a go.
I'm not sure of the outcome but he is happy with the results
and that is all that matters!
