In memory of Surrey

This weekend I have spent relaxing and doing just what I wanted to in an attempt to shake off what might be a cold or perhaps just some sinus focused allergy.

At last I have taken a photo of the artwork I had done of the grass Bryan named after Surrey.

It has been named Eragrostis jacobsiana. It will go beautifully with the painting of Agrostis bettyae named by Surrey after me.

I have also spent a bit of time finishing the patchwork top for a picnic rug made from some of Surrey's shirts.

This is just the top. My decision now is how to quilt it??? I thought I would probably do navy blue just in a few diagonals, not through every block though. Maybe diagonals both ways or perhaps just one way, but which way???
