Pluggin' away

I'm not getting a whole lot done... today, it was because I didn't fall asleep until after 3 am last night ( despite going to bed about 12:30) and not waking up until noon.

BUT I did accomplish one thing... I finished the block that I started yesterday...


Each of these blocks take a bit of time because I have to trace all the pattern pieces onto freezer paper, rough cut them out and then iron to fabric before cutting out along the lines.  Then comes glueing, positioning them on the background block and heat setting the glue before I can start the blanket stitching.

Here's the completed blocks hanging on my design wall... along with the block backgrounds for the rest of the quilt blocks.  Four done and five to go.  I'll keep pluggin' away... would like to get it done over this holiday weekend; we'll see.  It will be worth it - I'm really liking this quilt.
Still haven't done anymore with the quilt that's on Mo'e... I know what I want to do to the borders - it's just getting to it.  I'd rather work on other things right now.... BUT it's supposed to be done by next Wed. in order to meet the UFO goal.  Maybe I'd better work on that over the weekend instead of the Christmas quilt.

Enjoy the weekend!

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one...
