Happy Monday morning, everyone!!! Welcome to Monday Musings! I hope you all had a great week and got a lot accomplished. This week has been busy but a good one. The weather here has been great, but I know many states have had severe storms. I hope you are all OK. It’s been crazy.

I am loving your paper-pieced blocks for the May Blog Hop. I struggled to use the cream prints. Wishing you a speedy finish.
