Cool Monkey Wrenches
(Greens, Blues,Purples)
40 x 50
It's a finish!
Throughout 2022 and 2023 one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) projects was Monkey Wrench blocks in three different sizes made with scraps in the color of the month. I was able to put together over a dozen tops so far from the blocks. This one has 10 inch Monkey Wrench blocks in cool colors that were left over after making a purple/green quilt, and all blue and all green quilts.
I quilted it simply with lines.
The backing is a cheater cloth quilt and the binding is a leafy green floral.
The theme this month in my sewing space is March Madness (Quilting) Marathon. I'm going to concentrate on finishing up a lot of the small tops I have in the TBQ (to be quilted) pile. They will then be donated to:
And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (My word of the year)
March 22 -- Hubby had a doctor office visit - four month follow up after last hospital stay for aspiration pneumonia. He is tolerating his feeding tube formula and is now gaining weight and strength. His lab results were all good. Previously he had a problem with high sodium and glucose. He was on metformin for the high glucose but as of yesterday he no longer needs to take that. That means he is on no drugs now except for the one he uses in the nebulizer. His sodium is in the normal range. And he has been getting around most of the time without the walker. In fact he went up and down the stairs to the house and to the doc visit without the walker - he just held my hand.

I hope you'll hang all the monkey wrench quilts on the line so we can enjoy the rainbow.
You are having a great quilting month. I love all of the monkey wrench quilts.
That is such good news about your hubby. He will be able to go out and enjoy your garden areas this summer.
Great news about your husband. His perseverance and your wonderful care are producing results. Love the latest Monkey Wrench quilt - of course! Have you run out of 10” blocks yet?
Another beautiful Monkey Wrench quilt! It's amazing how many you've made from those blocks. That's great news about your husband, too - definitely something to celebrate!

Such good new about your husband's health. And wonderful that he is mobile again. I bet you'll be glad when the month is over and you can switch to a different quilting focus. We had snow which wiped out all my daffodils.

I can't keep up with your speed! LOL Another pretty finish! Love those blocks. Wonderful news about your DH! So happy for both of you!
I love your series of Monkey Wrench quilts, this blue, green & purple one is a favorite. I am so happy that your husband is thriving in your care. Such wonderful news!
Fabulous news for you and your Hubby! He is going to be ready for the bench and the sweet pea trellis! Love! :)
That's such good news to read about your hubby's health improvements.
Another fabulous finish! God gave you an appropriate word for this year. You have had much to celebrate. So glad to hear your husband is recovering his strength. That takes a long time. It seems that it is easier to lose it than to gain it. Also great news on his medications. Yippee!
Your posts are so inspirational!!! I always want to go sew after reading them. Great news about hubby. Love Monkey Wrench blocks but I never make them. Hmmm.... Still do not know how you can possibly get so much done!
It is so good to hear your DH is doing much better! We have all been concerned about him and your energy level taking care of him.
Gotta love a cool Monkey Wrench! This March Madness theme of a quilt a day has been fun to watch and you have stuck to it quite faithfully!
I wish for you continued energy and happiness watching your land come back to life as spring roller coasters into existence.
I am so happy to hear the health is improving!!! Love that!!
