It's been crazy and chaotic this week, and FINALLY I have chance to breathe...
I'm not even going to BOTHER trying to recap the past few days; it's been a complete whirlwind.
But, amazingly, I was able to complete OC#3 and catch myself up! I even incorporated some of the new scraps purchased over the weekend.
I also have been slowly cutting up the "Grandpa PJ's" (burgandies, white and blue) I bought this weekend. In a few free moments, I did some surfing on the net to find the "perfect pattern" for the fabrics. Golly! That was tough! At first I didn't find anything. But then, after another hour, I had four possibilities, and I couldn't decide! My choices were a simple Ohio Star block..............and whatever this block to the right is called :0)
...and then I found this quilt, and liked the layout. It would be very easy to make in reds, white, and blues.But I finally decided on a design by Quick Quilts: "Stars and Stripes Forever"
Last night, I actually put an hour's worth of time into cutting some strips and piecing two log cabin blocks for the pattern. I hope to put some hours in later tonight, too...
....
But FIRST, I have a handful of Algebra tests to grade. I WILL keep that top priority! :0)
Algebra test -- that doesn't sound like much fun. Can't you just give everyone an A and save all that time for quilting?
ReplyDeleteI like the Stars and Stripes Forever pattern you chose. It looks like you could use some 1.5 inch strips in patriotic colors. Did I mention that my 1.5 inch bin has been breeding in the dead of night and is overflowing wildly? It could be like friendship bread where you keep sending starters along to someone else.
I always found maths tests fairly easy to mark - but that was for 8/9 year olds, so yours might be more tricksy. I like the quilt you've chosen, I really must put my mind to a log cabin quilt one of these days.
