I am working away at my goals for the month. It seems I forgot a big one on the list: taxes. Blech!!!! Maybe my productivity in other areas is a result of trying to ignore the biggie.
Anyway, the April SQT challenge was announced and it is a 4.5″ Contrary Wife block. Make anything you want with this block. I wanted to work with indigos and chrome yellow but don’t have enough of either. So I went the scrappy route yet again.

Thanks to insomnia, I started piecing blocks at 4 AM yesterday. By afternoon, I was piecing borders between loads of laundry.

Not sure about the yellow dots in the corner blocks but I forged ahead. After quilting, I liked them even less! Just didn’t go with the gold.

See how blindingly bright they are? So I got out my drab olive Sharpie and colored them in!

Much better! Here is a pic of the finished quilt before washing

I am MUCH happier with the corner blocks now. This picture is lighter in color than the actual quilt. Maybe spring will come today and I can take some pics outside before work???? Hope springs eternal.

Until next time…
