50" x 60" or 50" by 70"?.......

My goal yesterday was lighter color blocks and more orange and red.  I also wanted to use the London print.

Now the decision is do I stop at 30 blocks and eliminate 2 or make 3 more to complete another row.  Since the blocks are 10" it is easy to calculate the size.

I decided to go through the final box of corduroy in the attic.  All of these are scraps from jumpers that I made for my daughter in the late 1960's and early 70's.  I also found some leftovers from a maternity outfit so the corduroys are 45-53 years old.  I washed them because they have been in the attic for over 25 years.  I didn't think I wanted to make another quilt with corduroy but I think I will now.  I will probably use the 8.5" squares like I did in the denim/corduroy quilts a couple years ago.  I probably have 30 different colors and patterns.

This piece of corduroy is 36" wide so I know it dates back to the 50's or 60's.  I don't remember it so I think maybe someone gave it to me.

The orange cactus is blooming.  There are 5 buds so I hope I get 5 blooms and that they don't dry up like they have done in the past.
