Time For Sewing

Patrick went golfing and I went downstairs to work on the quilt.

I thought I might be able to get it done today, but then I realized when my stomach decided to act up, I couldn't stay down there to finish it. But I did get a bit done. I should be able to finish it tomorrow. Then I will think about doing another one. I won't have 2 done for Colleen by Monday, but we did get 2 quilt tops from Val to get ready for quilting. 

The sides are sewn on it. I just realized I cut some of the strips that were for the border, so may have to cut another strip. Oh, great! 

Patrick thought a green or light blue would work great for the last border, but I was thinking there is a rhyme to this and the borders are part of that. I need to do 3 more blocks and then I can put the top and bottom together. It was fun to work on today. I had the room warmed up for me to go down there. 

I sent a message to both mom and Georgie to let them know I needed 20 - 10" Finished or 10 1/2" unfinished blocks that are all the same. I got a phone call asking about that. I don't know how they couldn't figure out what I wanted, but I told them. They wanted to know why, and I told them it's for the panels. Georgie was looking for 10" blocks to work on. She's also thinking of the log cabin. I told them it was up to them as to what they wanted to make. I just needed that size. Then mom wanted to cut down the 13" stars to fit. I told her not to touch those and to leave them alone. We can use them. 

I worked a little on QOV stuff. I had to get some emails out.

Then I gave it up for the day. So, at least I can claim I was Happy Quilting/Happy Stitching!
