It's a top!
Four Patch
60 x 78
I have a box of 3.5 inch width strips and squares. Most have been given to me over time. One color Four Patches of light and dark 3.5 inch squares made in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color of the month is one of the projects I started last year to use the smaller scraps in the 3.5 inch width box.
Since I'm now working hard to empty that 3.5 inch width scrap box I decided to finish up the few blocks I needed to make a comfort quilt top.
I usually sew scrap blocks together randomly; however, I decided on diagonal rows by color for this one. I don't have a design wall or floor space enough to layout blocks before I sew them together so I counted out the number of blocks of each color and made a very rough draft on paper that I followed.
And sew on...

Just popped in to say "hi". John has been fighting a bronchiectasis flare up all week - lots of coughing and thick mucus he has been trying to get rid of. Last night about 5 pm he told me he couldn't breathe. The oximeter showed blood oxygen okay but pulse rate high. No fever. Very pale. Took him into ER. They immediately took him into a room. They gave him 15 liters of oxygen and took tests. They thought he might have blood clot. No, he didn't. Pneumonia? Maybe. After all the testing and at 4 am they finally admitted him for COPD - Bronchiectasis type. (Bronchiectasis is reason he is on oxygen with activity). This afternoon he was doing much better and up and about; however, now he has developed a problem with high blood pressure like he sometimes does when hospitalized. Anxiety? Maybe I should take my own blood pressure!
More later...

NICE ! It doesn't look like a simple 4 patch. It looks like a well planned scrappy.
Oh this is a wonderful quilt! So much eye movement! Which charity is it going to? Sorry to hear about John’s continuing health issues. I’m glad he’s getting some help. Take care of yourself too!
I like the rainbow layout for the four patch quilt.
Sorry John is suffering another medical setback. I hope his symptoms subside quickly and you can get home back home to relieve both your and his anxiety.
