COVID

Over the last 9 months I have been keeping a tally sheet of how many days this craziness has gone on.  This wallhanging represents that tally sheet. COVID was made entirely of scraps from my scrap bin and fabric from my stash.  The grid is made up of 2 x 4 rectangles. I purposely did not make color or design decisions, but instead followed the icons I had doodled on my tick sheet.  Some of them comment on the weather while others might indicate what we had to dinner that evening.  I didn't realize we had so much pizza!  All of the items are raw edge cut as I went along and then sewn on using black thread.  It is 38x48.  Along the right hand edge is a strip that contains the statement about the quilt hand printed and quilted using a big stitch.  The rest of the quilt is machined quilted using vertical lines of blue thread.  I found that blue was the one color that seemed not to show up.  I enjoyed using this tally sheet as the basis of the design and the freedom of  just doing it and it represents the craziness of these last months.  Thetally sheet continues and I am not sure what I will use as the deciding factor for not doing it anymore.
