What a joy it is to have daylight later in the day!!! I LOVE it!
Design Wall
Piecing:
Circles – borders on and it is sandwiched ….
Frolic: All the rows are joined and trimming is the next step. I do need to do the trimming
Florabunda: This is a free pattern from Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville.com You can access the pattern HERE. This is being used as a “Leader & Ender” project and eleven blocks were completed in the last week.

Anja, I hope we do! When you look at why they started it in the first place, it no longer makes sense to fall back and spring forward! Hopefully the politicians will eventually agree that it is silly!
Hope the transistion struggle ends soon!
Happy Quilting! 🙂

I, too, wish we’d stay on daylight savings … but alas, I’m not the decision maker about this (but I did place my vote for it) 🙂
