Time to tackle another UFO

 Instead of sewing on Friday I cut the sashing strips and got organized for a UFO that I am going to focus on for March.  And then I got some validation that it was time well spent.

We went to a funeral visitation on Friday (late afternoon), and then stopped to eat at our favorite local Chinese restaurant.  My fortune cookie was so appropriate, wasn't it?  I'm taking this message to heart for the next month at least.

So, yesterday morning I began to lay out those sashing strips with the 20 elephant blocks.  The bin holding 2.5" squares will yield lots of color for the cornerstones.  Once assembled, I'll decide if it needs an outer border or not.  This will be a cute quilt for sure.  But it was guild meeting time at 10 am, and then we left for Jackrabbit basketball.  No sewing on Saturday. 

It was senior day for the women - plus the very last game ever in Frost Arena.  When it re-opens next season the total remodel will be complete and there will be a new name.  The end of an era.  Dave and I were both at the very first game in Frost Arena in 1973, our freshman year. They held the first half of the season in the old arena, called The Barn, and then moved to the brand new arena after New Years.  We're feeling a bit nostalgic.  Can you tell?
