Yep, I was sewing all day long. I started around noon yesterday and didn't get done till about 11 pm. So, if anyone tells you you can get a quilt done in a day - tell them they are crazy! The only way to do that would be to have everything cut and ready to go, and even then, chances are it wouldn't happen. I can see a really easy quilt with squares and nothing else, then yes, you can have it done in a day. In this case, NOPE, it was at least a 3 day project.
The flying geese pieces took a good two days. Then putting the blocks together, that took a little time as well. I had these done before yesterday, but that was only 4 each.
Then it was putting them up on the wall and work with each row. This was fun to do. I was surprised at how well my blocks turned out. My points were awesome, with a few exceptions. Not a lot! They fit just right. I really like this quilt top. I have another set cut and ready to work on. So, I'm going to get those flying geese going for the next on. Hopefully this weekend.
Quilt top finished. Patrick helped me, because I needed to get the backing ironed. I was ironing last night while he was running the tape over this top and cutting some of the threads to have it ready to be quilted. Then I went to bed and crashed.
Today we were out the door by 10:30 am. Stopped off at Bill and Sharon's to give him the 3 tops. One of the tops was Susy's (I met her at 10 am to pick up the top and then went to Judy's to get the backing and batting). So, they have 3 quilts to quilt. I told him it was no big hurry.
After dropping them off, we headed to Tacoma to see the specialist about my thyroid. The good news is that we will be waiting till next year when I have another altra sound.
Came back and stopped at the casino. We hadn't been to the casino in almost a month. We stayed about an hour.
Then came home, I napped - was still tired. Next thing it was time to go bowling.
I bowled 177, 179, 190. We won 3 games. Fred is now out of bowling so we worked on getting a replacement. I guess I know who the replacement is, but just can't think of who it is. Nick bowled for Fred today, and his replacement will start after Thanksgiving.
All in all, I'm still keeping busy Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!!
