Well, the pieces of my "Winter Blues" quilt sat on my worktable for too long . . . for far too long.
On Christmas Day, I started sewing . . . I decided I'd prefer to have this last project of 2009 done this year (what's left of it).
I need 168 squares for the quilt (and border) . . . as of this moment, I have 80 squares completed.
I WILL finish the top by the end of the week, and the end of the year (at least, that's my intention).
(Pics to come . . .)

Looking forward to seeing your progress. How did the holidays treat you?
ReplyDeleteChristmas Eve was busy: worked in the office till 2:00 p.m.; then sang (and read) Lessons and Carols at 4:00 p.m.; choir party at 6:00 p.m.; Eucharist at church at 11:00 p.m. . . . we got home at 1:00 a.m.
ReplyDeleteChristmas Day was excellent!!
We slept late (well, Ed did; I was up sewing by 8:30 a.m.) . . . we ate, sat around in our (thermal) underwear and bathrobes, and did nothing: no travelling, no gifting, nothing. We DID watch "Polar Express" though.
For the New Year, we're staying home (below window level) . . . we may institute "Do Nothing Day" once a month!!
I am really fascinated by your process. I've been following the progression of this quilt and am in awe of how many pieces you cut out from the templates.
ReplyDeleteI am in search of my tiles... I know they are around here somewhere...
I hope to finish the squares for the body of the quilt in the next day (or two) . . . I'll post a pic of the squares before I start assembling them into their respective blocks.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't find your tiles, I'll gladly email you a new set (or two), LOL!!
