new QoV layout, shrimp scampi

We both slept in Sunday morning (3/8), then moved very slowly until Michael left at 1 PM for his matinee.  

I headed downstairs, itching to work on my newest QoV.  I finished up the second border: 

and got strips cut for the third.  At this point I must confess that I jumped to the BG/Mary Jo method as I couldn’t wait to see how it was turning out:  

I ADORE it....what do you guys think????   I am so happy I decided to try this pattern for a new QoV (although once again, the layout is messing with my brain!!).  

While I was working, Lucy found her way to the to-be-bound pile: 

Making those 12 blocks took me all afternoon, and when Michael got home at 6 PM (after a stop at the grocery store), he said ‘’we’re having champagne….right?’’  So, it was champagne (celebrating the end of the first weekend of performances of 12 ANGRY JURORS): 

and shrimp scampi for dinner.  I set out all of my ingredients:

(mushrooms, onion, garlic, sherry, half & half, old bay seasoning, shrimp, shaved parmesan), because once you start cooking it, it goes very quickly.  Michael made pasta for a base and finally we were enjoying our dinner:  

We both relaxed and watched TV the rest of the evening.
