I sewed the two halves of the second section together and then sewed the section to the first one, only to find I had not guestimated correctly on the wide of the second section .... oops.The second section is 11" (finished) wider than the first one, and of course none of my orphan blocks fit the 11.25" size needed to fill the gap.
As a result, I'm in process of making a filler section that will go the full height of the first section. I'm using part of an orphan set of strip sets left over from a gift quilt I made 10 or so yrs ago.
Next pics are of a couple of the filler sections on the 2nd section of the quilt. The blocks in these sections are signature blocks from a couple of get-togethers (IQGT) - one that I was at in person and one that I was only there in spirit.
The red/cream are from 2002 and the IQGT was one I was able to attend. General consensus is that this one was held in CT.
Lynn Z and Mary G signed the top two blocks, and Joanne W and Sandy B signed the bottom two.
Gratitudes:
1. For the house/pet sitting job I've got coming up in June & July and the income from it.
2. For not having to worry about paying for AC while house-sitting.

That's one of the fun things about creating your own design...love the way you are solving your problem. Yay for the house/pet sitting job!!! Always nice to have a new income stream!
This is going to be so personal to you. At last something just for you. =) The pet sitting job is nearby? Sounds like a double benefit - income and lower electricity!
