After dropping Cassie off for Volleyball camp, I came home and started sewing right away. No gardening needed today since we took care of picking produce yesterday.
QOV Mystery #28: Star Path was first on my unwritten agenda.
Forty flying geese blocks were asked for, using the stitch-n-flip method. With these units finishing at 3"x6", double-sewing for bonus HSTs was a definite!!!
The top stacks show the 40 units called for in this step; 3.5"x6.5" (unfinished)
and I elected to sew up the bonus HSTs right away into similar flying geese units; roughly 3"x5.5" (unfinished). I can only only ONLY hope that ladies are NOT throwing away that "waste"! Still incredible to think about all the bonus units possible by simply double-sewing.
Melissa posted week #2's Tetris blocks, so I played the game twice and got to work laying out the pieces.
They haven't been sewn yet, because I needed to pick up Cassie from volleyball camp.
When returning back home, I got busy loading Diamond Fields onto the quilt frame and everything that goes with setting up a new quilt (cleaning, oiling, winding bobbins...).
Before quitting at lunch time, I sewed through 2 full bobbins worth. The wedding is next weekend; I should have no problem getting this finished without even needing to push for the deadline.
Shortly we'll be heading out for day #2 of swimming lessons. And you know what?!?!.......I can see taking a nap on the beach today; I'm a bit tired.
Happy Tuesday.
Lots of good progress! Glad you are making the most of summer.
ReplyDeleteI have become so aware of Bonus triangles and not throwing anything away.... it's addictive!!!
ReplyDeleteI made the bonus hsts too...didn't think about turning them into geese! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteFun fun fun projects...I think I might be compelled to start a Tetris!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am not surprised you are tired...I get tired just reading your schedule!
