Virtual Travelling or The Last Wave of Aqua

The Joyful Quilter and I researched the name of this block. 

I was able to relocate the original picture that inspired me and we now know the name of it. 

It's called Crossroads to Jericho. I am also sewing a block called Jericho Walls. I think Jericho is calling me. So, I fired up the Google Machine and I was magically transported into another time. Jericho is in the West Bank with the Jordan Valley to the east. The city has a desert feel to it though there are many cars. One almost expects to see camels.  There's Herod's palace within a walking distance of a KFC. Culture shock! Another interesting fact, Jericho has a Russian Museum. (??) Anywho! It was a nice 15 minutes of wasted time in Googleland. Haha.

Let's head back to my sewing room. 

Not much has happened here as I mostly did little (2 inches) HSTs for Spinner and a placemat for the Table Scraps Challenge.

I also did some cleaning up and what usually happens while cleaning has happened yet again. I found another project to distract me. 

Whenever I get bags of scraps from my friends, there's usually a little Ziplock bag of triangles. Anne's generous gift was no exception. I couldn't resist it any longer and opened it. 

What followed was the sewing of 110 HSTs. Then the pressing, and trimming. 

Two piles of triangles weren't selected. The plain yellow as I'm not sure I'll need it, and the black and lime print. I am not convinced it belongs with the others. (I can hear Sesame Street's jingle now.)

Aren't they cute though? 

I know it is called Anne's Quilt but I have no idea where it's taking me. I'm just happily and blindly following its lead. 😊

Some 9-Patch (3.5 inches) were made as leader-enders ... 

... and one last Chaser block in Aqua. 

That's all I have, my friends. Wonder what colour will be called for March. 

Have an awesome week. 

;^)
