guilt got me

first up, accidentally bought 2 copies of the jan/feb issue of QUILTMANIA....i really can't afford to give it away, but for $10 i'll send it to you via media mail....email me privately if interested at gracemth@yahoo.com.

the other day i think i mentioned the civil war diary quilt that was hiding in a UFO drawer.  well, today guilt was nagging at me again and i did take it out and took stock of the progress so far.  

i think there are about 15 blocks done so far.  years ago i went to a friend's and used her EQ to print out most of the blocks that i couldn't piece on my own.  the papers got stuffed in the drawer as well, so went thru those and eliminated the waste portions, attaching partial blocks to the main block.  there are quite a few, naturally, since the entire quilt is 121 blocks.  here they are waiting for me to make them up.  a lot of them are quite involved, and i think i had procrastinated due to the difficulty of many of them and limited time.  now with more free time, they don't intimidate me as much, so have great hopes of tackling them.  have chosen april to do just that......

aside from some house chores and exercising, today was a slow day.  did print out 30 more DWR arcs and since they work up pretty fast, expect i'll have all 240 done before march is gone.  few more house chores, but i'm spacing them out not to over-exert (ROFL).....anyway, that's my story!
