Yesterday was filled with ups/downs, sewing in seams, un-sewing seams, cutting wrong widths of fabric, re-cutting correct widths/lengths of fabric... ups and downs in my chair that I'm really beginning to hate. When I went to bed last night, I just had one more piece to add to the final two blocks; I pinned the pieces on and called it a night.
Got up this morning and gave myself a little time to wake up, then got back to work on finishing the last two blocks. Done! Stitched the first two blocks of the first row together - only to find that I had twisted one of them the wrong way and so had to rip those stitches out. Two hours later, this is what I have
the middle row and bottom row sewn together
Now, I'm eating breakfast as I enter this blog... going to finish that and play on my computer for a bit before going back and adding the final row ( it's really too early in the morning for me to be so productive :( ). Will come back later with more pics, I hope ( I'll probably have to get hubby to hold the quilt top up for those).
1;47 p.m. after a two hour nap and an hour for lunch, I got the third row attached. ( LOL hubby just saw it hanging on my 'design wall' and said "OMG makes ya dizzy lookin' at it!!")
5 p.m. The quilt top is done EXCEPT for the final border(s)... just too tired to do anymore tonight.
Will finish in the morning and then ask hubby to hold it up while I get a pic.
Once that's done, I'll pack "Marie" up so that I can drop her off at The Hen House on Monday so Steve ( the repair/ cleaning man) can pick her up the next time he's there ( probably Tuesday). Then I'll get "Jan" out and use her to make the buttonholes on my daughter's apron.
Looks like I'd better get started on quilting that Texas Star quilt on Monday, too... can't quilt this recently completed quilt until I get the Texas Star done. :)
This looks totally awesome!
