Small progress from a long day

Well, it seems that way anyway... I worked about 10 hours... ok, well less than an hour was UNsewing... row sewn on with chicks upside down, seams pressed one way but flipped over during stitching... you know .. that kind of stuff.

But the main part of the quilt is done...

 I had some problems with the pinwheels; I was to cut 3 7/8" blocks, draw down the middle from one corner to another... you know the routine.  Cut them apart and stitch back together in sets of 4... I don't usually cut 7/8"... it's a real pain.  But I didn't stop and take a deep breath & give myself a minute to figure out what the finished size should be so that I could cut at 4" and then trim down to the correct size.  It would have been simple to do, but I couldn't figure it out 'on the fly';  like I said, if only I had stopped and taken a breath and maybe even did a practice block... p.s. what I needed was 3 1/2" - the same size as the chubby chicks blocks.  So, some of the pinwheel blocks are a little larger than they should be and some are just right... 

Next up is the simple inner border... then a flying geese border and finally the outer border... I don't think I'm going to have this done by the end of this weekend... the flying geese are side by side but there are still a LOT of them to make.

Ok, 11:30 and Buddy is being patient but he's still ready for bed.

take care
