Working full-time puts a cramp in my quilting time – especially if I’m easily distracted as I am on this quilt. Last night while watching Quilt Cam, I cut and pieced the sashing running the width of the quilt, pieced the corner stones and trimmed the rest of the blocks. Once Quilt Cam was over, I walked out of my sewing room and found a book to read.
So, today, since it’s Day 1 of the October Quiltathon that Judy is hosting, I sat down after work and started with the intention of getting the quilt top finished — or at least two rows put together.
Instead, I got two blocks out-of-order – and I had them pinned with # pins! So, when DH suggested we make a run to the hardware store, I shut the machines down and grabbed my purse.
I guess now I will have some quality time with my seam ripper and try again tomorrow night.
Update:
After ripping out the wrong seams, sewing them together wrong again (but differently) and ripping out again. I finally got that last column put together. So, I attempted the long sashing. I think it’s right.
Oh my, we must be related! I’ve done that more often then I want to admit to!
