Doing some #EPP while binge listening to American Government: Constitutional Foundations, by Harvard University. It's available in both print and audio lectures. I'm really enjoying it, it's very thought-provoking. It also allows me to sew at the same time, so it's a win/win.

If you only watch one video today, let it be this one.

I don't know how big the squares are, but without too much ripping, you have a good start to a sawtooth border.

I put "blue" in quotes because the colors in between are actually teal, but no matter what light or filter I use,they come off as blue in my photos. Yeah, basically, it was a really nice peaceful weekend. #modernquilting #QUILTSKY

Blocks pieced and ready for assembly. Last weekend's voting was overwhelmingly positive for the "blue" variation. Originally, I wanted to do both light and dark between the blocks. One or the other was great, but the mix was just jarring.

That quilt is not going to quilt itself! Remember the house is just going to get dirty again. Be happy, do some quilting. ;)

It’s pretty insane that a private citizen can come in, hijack federal government servers, fire people, and steal their PII.

I'm going to play with both again in the morning. I realized that when I'm tired I lose my flow. I am sure it will come back in the morning about 15 nanosecond after my first klunk of coffee β˜•οΈ πŸ˜‹

I'm going to try that in the morning. Part of me realizes that this time of the day is not my best. That's why I EPP at night, less thinking, more relaxation.

The light color makes the squares pop, but it kinda bores me. Too straight forward. The blues are definitely more subtle. I think I need to both walk away for a bit and also play with it more.

I'm looking for a discussion about these two color variations for the paths in between these blocks. Both positive and negative. I like to see things through other eyes. Light, or blue, or some of each? Nothing already sewn needs to stay that way. Have at it while I make dinner. #quiltsky

Can you post a photo of the fabrics please? Sounds interesting.

I agree! This is what I have been asking for the last few weeks. The army is ready to #resist but we need a leader! Who wants to take the torch?

#onevoice PLEASE RESHARE! We need to get better organized. We need marches, boycotts, and to make headlines. I want to start a hashtag with the purpose of finding our leadership. Bernie. Kamala, Pete? I don't care, this army needs a general.

We need optics, that's why we need a march. On Washington and every last town square in Podunk. Al Sharpton made the news with 100 people. Main stream media wants video. We need to give them a protest to video. When do we march????

We need a leader!! A voice or voices to follow. The other side has the orange 🍊 guy FOTUS carrying their torch. We need someone, one voice, one group to carry our flame thrower. Someone to decide when we march, real dates. My pitchfork is ready! #resist

OMG! Did you name your bird Rotisserie??!! It's 5:30 in the morning, and I think I woke up the neighbors with my laughing.

My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. It’s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother

I bought a few more fabrics for this one. Going to be a fun weekend. I already see a few "renovations" needed. ##quiltsky

But you could always tweak the patterns inside the triangles a bit and come up with something cool. I don't have a goid design tool for EPP, but if you design it I'd be tempted to sew it!

You've got a good idea there. I would like to see how they look when you say make hexagons out of them. The secondary patterns made could be great, or could look wonky.

The sentiment is great, and I have to say that font really makes this just top notch. All the letters are really nicely shaped, and spaced. Bravo! πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘
