Finished Friday - OMIGOSH is a flimsy!

Friday AM status - borders prepped and attached

OMIGOSH - 73" x 92" officially a flimsy

Accomplished!  Some dreary, gloomy, rainy days between Wednesday and today certainly helped to allow me to piece, assemble and sew guilt-free. 

Before organizing a new Leader-Ender project, there are little piles of partial units that have collected over the years that are attracting my attention.  I don't even know if I ever had plans for some 3.5" (finished) 9-patches, and it's not pink-month for SoScrappy's Rainbow Scrap challenge, but there is something about cleaning up and organizing little scraps into workable piles for some future project.  And clearing away the clutter!

Once in a sewing-motivational mood hits, it's quite difficult to pull away for other duties requiring my attention.  (You too???). However, I practiced discipline!  With the ONLY dry, partially sunny few hours in the forecast for the week, I broke for a few hours Wednesday afternoon to take care of the mowing before it quite literally would require the neighbor farmer's hay-baling equipment.

And next up -- this beast!  Omigosh (this time as a expletive)!  While laying assembled units out in the newly transformed loft area..... ugh!  The carpet is a weeee bit on the icky-yucky-STICKY-gross side of the tracks.  I don't even know what may all be in that carpet over decades of the girls traipsing through.  Facebook to the rescue.  A quick ISO plea to local friends resulted in an early afternoon delivery of their "ancient cleaner."   I'm still in the quilting mood and HOPE to continue with the quilting prep for OMIGOSH, but first... carpet cleaning.

Bailee girl simply needs to be patient; besides it's still dreary and rainy outside.
