I feel like I am working in slow motion on this quilt. This is the last of the half blocks for it and I got them sewn after I took this photo. Last night I also basted another small colorwash piece.
Church sewing circle was yesterday afternoon and we made red and green felt Christmas stockings for the kids at the shelter that we help support.
After my haircut this morning I need to cut sashing for the quilt in progress and decide on fabric for cornerstones. It sounds like we will get rain from the remnants of hurricane Patricia.
Sometime when we want something to go fast it is like in slow motion. I think you have made good progress. As my husband says all good things take time. You will be happy with it when done. Chris
I also know what it feels like to work in slow motion on a project, but those are frequently the ones I end up liking the most. We got 4 inches here from Patricia. In our case, it was most welcome.
We had rain all day yesterday and it appears that we will have it all day today also. I am just grateful that it is all we are seeing from such a violent storm.
I a just catching up and even though this project seems to be going slow for you, it is a stunner! Loved the backing you put on the back of the small colorwash piece. That was the perfect use for that gorgeous fabric!
Slow and steady wins the race! Your quilt is going to be wonderful! Wind and rain in the forecast for us tomorrow too...it's going to be a good day to sew!
Great color combos in the blocks! We are supposed to get pounded on Wed. with rain and wind.

ReplyDeleteI like these a lot. Always appreciate how colorful your work is. Stay safe and dry.
ReplyDeleteRemember the story of the tortoise and the hare....slow and steady wins the race. You are still running circles around us.
