And to top it all off, I have to sandwich, baste, quilt, bind, wash & dry a baby quilt for a shower this Saturday!! Husband left yesterday for 2 weeks (so no help from him w/ the kids); I do recess duty at my daughter's school Mondays and Wednesdays for a 1/2 hour (plus 20 minutes travel time); then pick her up at 3pm everyday....when am I going to get this done! My 15 month old decided to make my life a little more difficult by only taking one nap a day and that's in the a.m. where I did the above block (instead, of course doing something that needs to be done in 5 DAYS!) Ahhhh!!!! I need more time in a day!

What a pain in the rear!
I had such a hard time w/ this block! I really wanted to make it, so skipping it wasn't an option. The dilemma I had is that my cuts of fabric are 4 1/2" x WOF. This block need more inches of fabric than I had. I wanted to stick w/ the Good Folks by Anna Maria Horner...so I pieced each triangle to get the size I needed. Such a pain...and I didn't really try to match pattern or anything. So i finish that, sew them all together and then discover my points in the middle don't totally match up. oh well. I can't rip out and redo anymore! It took me 3 hours to get to this, so I'm done!

Sending you whatever daylight's left at my house at the end of my day your way! LOL I didn't even notice the middle of your block...I was too awed by the fabric to notice.
ReplyDeleteYou know, if I lived closer, I would help you or watch your little ones so you could sew. Isn't it awful when friends live so far away! Poop!
from me, who thinks you did a fabulous job and that you should medicate your kids so they sleep more...wait, did I just type that out loud! LOL
I love this block and I'm posting it on the blog...I hope that's ok because I already did it. :) Let me know if you want me to take it down.
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome and your points totally look fine.
ReplyDeleteI vote for more time in the day too! Your block turned out lovely. Can't wait to see more!
