Ghosts in the Machine: The Downloaded Book 2
Audible original by Robert J. Sawyer
Narrated by Brendan Fraser & cast
In light of the current massive spotlight on Epstein, there was an uncomfortable storyline but I'm glad to say that the questionable part of the story was resolved nicely.

Postage stamp variation: maybe it needs an additional border on the sides but it's already plenty big enough so I won't worry about it right now. This is finished top #4 in my work-in-progress basket. As a hand quilter I'm getting way ahead of myself.

My other work-in-progress: I've sewn together countless two inch squares and am now ready to assemble them into a completed quilt top. I know what I want to do and how to do it but there's no rush; I have three tops already done, just waiting to be made into actual quilts.

When you're working with teeny tiny two inch pieces of fabric it takes a long time to turn them into bigger pieces of fabric. I don't know how other quilters can say "look what I made this weekend!"

Inserted some leftover blue and gray chrysanthemum fabrics to keep it from being too monotonous and I'm not sure how it worked but "it is what it is and I meant to do that."
Maybe it needs one more border? ...but I guess I don't have to decide today.
