Time for something new....

LOL...Just for Angela, I'd thought I veer off into a new direction. I joked with her that maybe the DOC was right about having the extra energy during these first few days of the medicine dosage! (BTW--the poison ivy is getting better; not so itchy, but a good portion of my face is still quite discolored. I have been keeping some triple-antibiotic salve on to keep the scarring and discoloration to a minimum during the healing stage)

Okay---back to my veer----Oh golly! Not that I need yet anything NEW in my WIP list...but when I opened up by drawer of 2" strips....


...these BEAUTIFUL greens were screaming at me to do something with.


And then, I remembered that Bonnie's Jared Takes a Wife uses 2" strips to make 4-patches.....
...well.......what's a girl to do!?!?!??...
...it simply was meant to be!!!! After chain-piecing, pressing, and counting, I had EXACTLY 140 4-patches; just what the pattern calls for! It's a sign!!!!!
Update: I just reread Bonnie's pattern. It only calls for 120 4-patches (I was confusing the 40 with the 240 2-patch units). Yeah---that means I have 20 spare blocks to play with somewhere else!!!


During the mindless strip-piecing phase, Caitlyn came down with a surprise for me :0)
I'm so glad the girls are reaching a more independent phase and can find their own little tasks to do when I hit my quilting-obsessive-mode.


For the past two hours, I've been tidying up my OVERSTUFFED box of bonus triangle clippings....
....yeah, okay....there are still some left in the box, but stick a fork in me, cuz I'm done!!!!!! THAT's enough of that!!!!! Two hours of pressing! Ugh! I am really thinking of SKIPPING the trimming part until after I piece them together into either pinwheels or broken-dish units. The stack on the left are bonus tris from my Blue Star Struck blocks (yeah, still on the UFO pile!), and the stack on the right is from my Star Struck blockswap sets (I must not have taken any pics of them!!!).


It's just before 5:00. This day has kinda just shuffled by with one little quilting task after another. Time to start preparing something for dinner, and contemplate what to work on for tonight's Friday Night Sew In. It's not too late to sign up over at Crafty Vegas Mom!

UPDATE-UPDATE!Dee pointed out the obvious!!!! The Friday Night Sew In date is NEXT FRIDAY---the 18th. I guess I must be on summer-mode already and losing track of the days already! Oh well----I still plan to be sewing-----how 'bout you???
