a whole row!

after much ripping and re-sewing, i finally have one entire vertical row done!  it wasn't without a bit of drama...the little brother machine HATES all those seams and i broke 3 needles just trying to get one seam done.  it still doesn't line up perfectly but i am not taking it out a 4th time.  if i get the old viking back before the flimsy is tied, i will probably fix.  so, today (wednesday) i am going to tackle more rows; perhaps i can get 2-3 more done?  that would be terrific.  **** after i got this row done, i worked some on a little challenge piece.  i have to get back to the browns/muslin project also, which i know the little machine wouldn't fight.  even so, my color appetite is whetted now that i've seen one row done and excited to see it all together.

  1. It is gorgeous, Grace. The motion of the string blocks is what makes this quilt dance for me, and your color selection does deepen the beauty of it.
    Congrats on your row!
    (and what are you doing up at this hour again?) : )

  2. I've been slacking with posting comments, but you sure have been busy! Love the look of Orca so far, hope the viking is back soon!

    Try to enjoy this "gloomy" weather.
