Not in the mood

I just haven't been in the mood to do much in the way of quilting lately.  The quilt top shown is one that should not have taken me all that long to do; it's a Missouri Star Quilt Company version of  The Disappearing Hour Glass.  This took me probably close to two weeks to assemble - mainly just because I found it to be boring - 42 blocks of the same thing... and the prints just weren't speaking to me; definitely not something you'd normally see me using.

Finished putting the borders on yesterday morning - and I am so glad!!  Now, I need to get a backing fabric before I can quilt it and call it DONE.  Of course, I also have to figure out how I'm going to quilt it - ideas are still running through my mind.

I was going to work on my Amish with a Twist BOM this morning, but when I got the fabric out, I realized that I can't tell which is which and will need to go down to The Hen House tomorrow ( or Tuesday) to look at the sample in order to figure it out.  At first I thought I would do the applique' version of this block, but then decided that I already do so much applique and really need to focus on my piecing.  Then I thought "Well, I could do two of each", but I think I've pretty much decided that I'm going to stick with the piecing - it's subject to change again - we'll see  LOL.

Last week, at our guild's quilt show, Mary Jean brought in some magazines and novels to give away.  I was helping her unload her car when I spotted the novels and snatched them right up.  Of the six, I've already read four... and am half way through # 5 - guess that's what I'll be doing this morning since I don't want to work on the Amish BOM mentioned above.

This afternoon, we'll be going over to hubby's son's for Easter dinner.  I'm taking veggies ( broccoli and green beans) so it won't take me long to fix those before we leave; that leaves me plenty of time to finish the book.

And on that note, I'm outta here

Happy Easter
