My day today

Here is where I sat from 7:30 a.m. until 2:45 p.m. It is the King County Regional Justice Center in Kent. It was a long slow day, and I was thankful that my name was not called to be on a jury.
I came home and did this! I put the borders on the very patriotic quilt!
The border fabric depicts exploding fireworks! I like it very much. And it felt good to do something productive after a day of sitting in a chair, waiting.

Quilt Flimsy

Just one picture today. This is a smaller quilt top that I am working on for Quilts of Valor. I have two borders to add.

This pattern is called Disappearing Nine Patch. First you make a nine patch...this one had 4 blue squares in the corners, 1 red in the center and 4 white in between. Then you cut it in half both ways and put it back together. (Sorry, I did not take pictures of the steps.) To me this looks like the red squares are behind the blue squares. I'll post another picture when the borders are on!
