I read the directions and started to cut. . . started to sew . . . needed more material cut. I'm thinking I must of counted wrong originally.

I'm sewing . . . and sewing . . . What's taking me so long?

I finally finished the blocks last night and decided to iron them before going to bed.

I'm ironing. . . and ironing.

Yep, you probably already guessed. Instead of the 26 blocks I needed for a king quilt, I have 46 blocks, enough to make the king and a double.

I need to go back to math class.

just think of all the throw pillows you can make and at least one big across the top pillow cover.!
