What I was actually doing was trying to do a little cleaning up and organizing so that I'd have room for whatever the next project might be. And I did do some - emptied and sorted out the bag of fabrics I got from quilting friend, Judy and I found a larger piece of batting so I only needed to zigzag stitch two together for the pink donation quilt... it's on Mo'e now and sides and top are basted down and I've done some marking trying to decide what I want to do in the borders.
Then, I found a tub with 'something' in it... I opened it... maybe not a good thing. Too late ... it's the fabric that I was going to use for the double dresden plate. I'd kind of forgotten about it; it wasn't that far back in my memory because I've been coming across one of the dresden plates at least once a day - can't figure out what I did with the first one, though -- all the more reason to CLEAN my room.
Well, since the tub was opened, I started cutting for the blocks... I was only going to do a couple - just to see what it looks like lol I have twenty and a half done. (need eighty)
The white yardage is a constant... the blues are from a jelly roll and there are the usual 42 strips with at least two, sometimes three of the same print. I've had to unstitch and restitch a couple of blocks because I stitched them with one side upside down - for example in the block above - the center blue piece was on the outside edge. I'm using one of the pinking blades that I bought for my rotary cutter so that hopefully the pieces will be easier to line up with the pinked edges of the jelly roll. They're not matching up perfectly, but close enough. I'm going to try and get the other sixty done tomorrow and hopefully get the blocks stitched together before Monday.
Ok, bedtime...
