I'm still cutting! I decided to make the bigger size, so 108 blocks...eek! I'm up to 83, all different fabrics. I have duplicates cut, but since I'm so close, I chose 25 more pieces last night, and I'll get them cut today so I won't have any repeats. What a chore...a fun chore, but a chore. I haven't made very many pieced quilts before, so I don't have a big stash of pre-cut squares.

My rotary cutter and/or mat is giving me a fit. I don't know which needs to be replaced. I put a fresh blade in, but it keeps skipping, and that is very annoying.

I think I may have enough extra squares cut to make the small top to quilt and donate to the local Senior Center for them to raffle off for a fund raiser.

I'm having fun...My first train ride. All I've got to offer up is a fresh pot of coffee. Grab a mug, your rotary cutter, and come help! You'll find me in the turquoise robe and black slippers!
