Work continues on "Friends of Baltimore"

About 8 years ago, I started working on Susan Garman's “Friends of Baltimore” quilt.  

You can see the whole quilt, and purchase the patterns, here: https://www.comequilt.com/shop/c/p/Friends-of-Baltimore-Complete-Pattern-Set-x1942297.htm

When I’m upset and severely stressed, I often find it difficult to produce original art, so I turn to other people’s patterns. And applique keeps my brain and my fingers VERY busy. I finished the first five blocks during the early years of the first Trump administration.

The news is very upsetting again, so I got out my materials and have already finished two more blocks this month, and started another. They are 15" blocks. I appliquéd so much that several of my fingers have been ragged and bleeding.
