Love that sewing buddy you have, looks kind of perplexed!
I was going to do my piecing this week, but remembered I had "Affairs of the Heart" blocks that should have been done several weeks ago. (I put them away, did such a good job of putting them away, I forgot all about them.) I had noted on my google calander that this was the week to piece the center unit, DUH only have about half of them done....so you know I will be doing applique until my eyes are crossed to catch up on the last 6 weeks!!!!!!!

i said i would sew squares for one week as i waited for all of my boom blocks to make it in, then i would put them away for later.

I'll wind up with very light / light / light med / med / dark med / dark / very dark / misc / -----oh no---scrappy, random is sounding much better!
