Keeping busy helps me stop worrying about things I can't do anything about, so today I vaccuumed and mopped the floors downstairs, did a load of laundry, ordered some fabric online (Civil War - out of my comfort zone but inspired by time at the historical society), and took photos of various quilt projects.
Later I have to go down to the post office to mail my row robin to Nancy, first stop in a year-long project in which each quilter will create a row to go with it. I decided on a flower garden theme, so my first row included four patch posies in various colors.
I love doing these round robin projects because they are so challenging. Everyone has different taste in terms of fabrics and styles. The row was a little difficult to photograph because it's 6" x 36". When it comes home, I will decide how to put the rows together and, perhaps, add an appliqued border all around. We'll have to see how it "speaks" to me!

keeping busy does help, I am such a worrier that at times even keeping busy will not "shut" my mind off!

I love your first row. Lots of ideas are spinning in my head for your flowers. I think mine will pose a challenge for everyone to think out of the box. Challenge is good, right?
