my weekend was busy doing lots of things but not much sewing or fabric-related stuff. mostly i finished kitting up "alaska" blocks...
doesn't sound or look like much but it was a big, time-consuming task....12 different blocks....each baggie contained pieces for 4 blocks....each block had max 12-14 pieces....you do the math. all cut by hand with scissors, templates traced on fabric after ironing....yeah a big job.
in addition, did quite a bit of hand quilting on the lozenge wall quilt--you've seen that. and more prep on the quiltmania mystery part 1--you've seen those as well. the remaining 7 star blocks had to be cut and the circles on the 4 applique blocks had to be prepped.
all the above plus laundry, cooking, exercising and other such boring stuff. anyway, hoping this week will reap some finishes and moving projects forward. the weather is dynamite at high 50s. only a couple appointments this week too. next weekend is daylight savings....bring it on!
Wow, that sounds like a big job to prep all of those blocks! I remember watching my Mom cut out quilts using cardboard templates she made from cereal boxes, and her scissors. I guess we should be grateful we aren't having to use cereal boxes for our templates anymore!
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy. I hope you get time to actually pick up a needle this week.
