Finally, I am doing some sewing, it has taken a while. DH is recovering from his back surgery, and my mom is finally starting to recover from her back surgery. My foot is also starting to feel better. Who knew that a broken toe could hurt so much!!!I definitely don't need to start new projects but a few weeks ago when I got the new American Patchwork and Quilting magazine, I fell in love with one of the quilts in it, A Different Path. I knew that I had more than enough scraps to make this. The one thing I really liked about this quilt is there is no curved seam it is applique. Since I have been sitting and watching TV with DH I wanted a new hand sewing project and this seemed like the perfect one.

| I went through my scraps and cut light and dark squares. |
I started appliqueing the dark quarter circles onto the light squares. I am amazed at how quickly these blocks make up. After just a couple of nights of working on this project I already have almost 50 blocks finished. The down side is that you have to have 256 of these squares. That will definitely take a while, but I can't wait to see how this finished quilt will look.
