Cooking has never been my favorite chore. We have always hosted the huge family holiday gathering, having the only house large enough to gather the relatives. I also had an arrangement at one of the assisted living centers that we would welcome any able bodies residents that wanted to be part of a family for the holiday. Many lovely people simply outlive all family
I would assign the children / grandchildren to an older guest with the knowledge they alone were responsible for the guest’s comfort. I wanted the children to realize that sometimes life happens & the person is still a worthwhile & productive member of society. Advancing age brings diminished eye sight , a tremble to an aging hand, & a slower step ….but the mind still receives a kind word & is nourished by such.
Today’s cooking consists how to use up that second pork chop I cooked yesterday? Cooking for one has its own challenges.
Did I mention I am rambling today?
I worked on the border for “Passing Fancy’ yesterday & have one almost complete. I will leave a slight amount open at each end (since I altered the size of the center blocks) until after attaching the corners.
I really do not like to frog but would rather do that than cook.(see how well that hooks up to what I was talking about earlier? :) ) I placed it against the un-joined blocks & I think I will like it just fine. Probably should have pressed that border before adding a px. Oh well....
“Diversity” …Block 2 : “Celebration of American Life”
If I look at this online everyday, perhaps it will help me decide how to sash?
Pictures (even lousy photography like mine) show faults the naked eye does not see?
Well I'm not seeing any faults with your stitching or your rambling :0)

The "untrained" eye - meaning the one that didn't make the block - sees no mistakes or faults - it looks spectacular.
