I took the afternoon off to go car shopping with the hubby. We'd seen a few locally that we liked, so we went back when the dealer was open to ask. A few hours later, we had traded in the old beast (a 1997 Grand Am with something like 268,000 miles on it - yes, that many zeros) and were driving this home:
The sun isn't shining on it, but it's a really neat paint color. In sunlight, just the right angle it looks turqouise, another angle it looks royal blue, in the shade more of a dark slate blue/turqouise. He likes it, so that's the important part.
It's a 2005 Grand Prix, for those of you not well versed in cars!
For now, I'll keep driving the Neon, but I think it's going to be replaced relatively soon.
And now I have to go make some more blocks. After looking at the picture again, I realized I'd put mine together wrong. I sewed the two same-color trianges to each other to make a square, not a bigger triangle (make sense?)... That's what you get for sketching it in pencil... The question is: should I send out the wrongly-made ones? Hmmm...
Happy Quilting!

Nice new car. Hope it serves you well for years.( Well the hubby since it is his car).
ReplyDeleteI have to get going on my blocks too.
Nice car! Hope you get many, many, many good miles out of it, too. When everyone is happy, you've made a great deal!

Congratulations on your new acquisition and let there be many happy hours of motoring. I'm pretty sure that you sew two triangles to make a square, then four squares to make a block. Not sure you have done anything *wrong*. Send me a picture if you like. Ann :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new car!!! I need to get to work on those blocks- I'm sure your blocks are fabulous. I like your blog makeover for March :) Christine
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you are so proud of your new car; it's a beauty! Be careful out there! *grin* ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the new car :) I hope you get as many miles and years out of this one as the previous one. I'm sure your blocks are lovely. I don't think it really matters where the colours in the small pinwheels are relative to the ones in the larger pinwheel... -Joanne
