We left for Ohio Thursday AM and got back tonight.
Here are the first 5 blocks of my half hexagon project. The bottom right one is not sewn to the rest. This is about 7-1/2" x 10-1/2". I like the way it's turning out. I don't have a plan for it, as usual with my quilts.

I surprised my sister with her Charming Stars quilt, but I forgot to get a picture. I was deeply burdened about something the day before we left for the trip, and it overshadowed most of my thoughts for the past few days. It's a wonder I didn't forget more things!

My sister's oldest daughter's graduation was the reason for our trip. I spent most of Friday afternoon and evening making many chocolate-covered pretzels and 3 batches of strawberry-pretzel salad. Mmm-mmm. Saturday AM I baked two Texas Sheet Cakes and decorated one. A woman at the Kingsville, OH Wal-mart bakery saved the day by scrounging up one last graduation cap with which I could decorate the top. The picture is not great, but there are white, lime green, and hot pink sprinkles under the cap (those were the colors she requested).
I also finished a whole Grandmother's Flower Garden block on the way back today. My dear husband drove all but the last hour, bless his heart ;)
Picture of that tomorrow.

I like the look of your hexies. I do look forward to seeing what you do with these.
Nice work all around, Joan. I especially like the stars quilt.
you have been productive Joan. Hope whatever was bothering you is behind you now. I know what you mean, times like that it seems that's all you can think about.
I must say a piece of that cake would go down very well with my cup of tea right now :-D
