a dangerous pattern

if you read the lists on the left side of the blog, you will see an ominous sign....i've completed 8 UFOs this year and started 9 others, yes 9.  my impromptu math skills leave a LOT to be desired, but in my book i'm running at a deficit here in terms of completing projects.  there is one redeeming factor here; the 9 new projects are all SMALL projects, meaning i could finish them in a week if i wanted to.   that is real progress, i think. ***** on a blistering hot sunday, i did get the scrappy units to the left chain pieced.  today they will get ironed and sewn into finished units for the christmas scrappy.  from here on out, i won't assemble rows until all units are pieced so all one fabric doesn't get clumped together on the quilt itself.   i also hope to baste the red/white schoolhouse and maybe a couple of other small flimsies that are lying around.

  1. If it is blistering hot again today, I think I would look around for as many flimsies to baste as I could find, and avoid the ironing altogether!
    You are a brave woman!

  2. I have been hibernating inside, unfortunately one of the projects I worked did require the iron!
