I thought I could

I thought I could finish my son's quilt today.... thought wrong!  I started out at 9 a.m. by turning the tv onto the music channel so that I'd have Christmas music in the background.  That went well, but then things just seemed to go downhill from there... Mo'e just didn't want to work right this morning... threads broke - because there was some tiny 'rats nests' on the cone and I didn't notice because I was checking everything else.  Ran out of bobbin thread and had to wind another one.. then when I went to re-thread Mo'e, apparently I didn't get the thread between the tension wheels like I was supposed to so I ended up with this underneath....

 and this on top.....

Somewhere in the process of trying to get problems worked out, Mo'e scratched my hand.
I decided not to take a pic of my hand... it's on my right hand and I'd have to try and use the camera with my left hand - I'm not ambidextrous

And, of course, I had to keep stopping every 4 hrs to give hubby his eye drops ( which are due again in about 5 minutes).

I'm on the last row of blocks and maybe 1/3 of. it's done.  Have one long dark brown piece that I haven't decided what to do on... certainly not feathers since the border is at least 60% feathers.

I've picked out stitches and restitched them, but there are more that I should have taken out and redone, but since I'm trying to get it done this week, it's not going to happen.  I'm really wishing that I had started this quilt months ago so that I would have been able to take more time in the quilting.  There are some parts that I really like and probably just as many parts that I really don't like.
I told hubby that I would go run errands in the morning, so I probably won't get the quilt completely done in time to take it to the meeting tomorrow night... oh well, I'll just take it next week.


OH!  Almost forgot... I finished up the grandkids ornaments last night... all except for signing the backs of them with the gkid's name and the year.
