Yeah... oops! After having the duck baby quilt hanging on my design wall for a couple of weeks and finally getting it loaded onto my mid arm (Mo'e), it wasn't until after I marked the border and then started stitching chenille strips to the top border ---only then did I notice that two blocks were sewn in wrong --- as in somehow I twisted each block so that they are out of order. Arghhhh! It was suggested that I applique new blocks over them but that would require fabric that I don't have - I used it up. So, I'm going to leave it as it is and try to come up with an idea using some more of the chenille strips to make it look more like a creative decision and less like a "D@#@! I've screwed up again."
In the meantime, I'm still plugging away at the Goodnight Irene quilt top... all the blocks are sewn into rows and some rows are even sewn together. I'm hoping to have it finished by Tuesday since this is a busy week for me and Tuesday is the only day I don't have something going on outside the house. I need to get it done, though, so that I can work on the tote bag for my hairdressers coworker - I said I'd have it done by the end of the month. It won't take long; I just want to get G.I. done first. The baby quilt doesn't need to be done until the end of March so I can work on it as I feel up to it. No fancy quilting, just adding chenille strips in the borders and, I think, simple straight line stitching in the center.
That's all for this week.
Take care and stay warm
