When Patrick got up, we headed to the casino. We had a better day today then last week. We were there a couple hours. Then we headed over to moms to help her with her heater unit. I brought some of her mini pans back with me to make the chocolate doughnut holes that you bake. I'm wanting to try those.
We left moms to Safeway. We did a quick shopping trip. Came home and unloaded. Patrick got the stew going, while I went downstairs for the rest of the afternoon.
I finally got the pieces all sewn together. The funny part was that I didn't have the blue, red, blue piece on the top left corner. So, it looked funny without it. I ended up taking out the whole row - not once but twice - because when I added the blue, red, blue on the top of the block, I then added the triangles on - which made it upside down. That was the second time I ended up taking it out. Now it's done, and done right. My next step is to add a border.
So, I'm going to use these colors as a border strip. I have one block that is extra, and I'm going to put it in the upper left corner with the strips coming from it. I'm thinking I will have to applique part of the block on to the top. I'm going to figure out how to put that block on. May end up doing applique all the way with it. Haven't decided yet.
I'm hoping to work on it tomorrow. I need to get this one done so I can get back to the other one. I was thinking this wouldn't take much to get done, but it's taking a lot longer than I was hoping. Not my favorite kind of piecing.
At least at this rate we will have a quilt to present next month. I'm hoping we get more done to present as well.
Life is fun when we are Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching.!
