happylab mentioned in 2017 UFO/challenge-contests that we should have this unscheduled VQW, I keep looking for it, so here it is.

Mon 11/26 is my 3 week knee replacement anniversary.

I am sewing/piecing as an escape. Friends have scheduled meals brought in. I am running dishwasher and Sun 11/19 I managed the 3 ( steep height shallow step) steps down to the laundry so no longer need assist with that. I'm 61, live alone, no pets. It's just me, the sewing machines, the tv, and the internet.

12" crumb blocks-42
This weekend I finished sewing on sashing #1, and sashing #2, with cornerstone #1
Some of these need pressing.

Bonnie Hunter's Carolina crossroads:
I got the 120th block pieced

I roped together three 6' boards and pinned flannel sheet to it.

It only held 8 x 7 nine inch blocks

(Still Carolina crossroads)
Sewed four 2x7 units. Planned fifth col 2x7, it is sewed into 7 sets of 2. Planned lower half of columns one thru five, 2x5 blocks, those are sewed into sets of 2. I only have lower 10 blocks of fifth column to plan.

Sadly, I found a cut on a block. As it is a charm quilt (120 different fabrics), I have to rip it out & find something to use.

Before surgery, I kitted up 6-7 quilt tops I could finish/work on.

After I sewed all those sets of 2 this morning:

I didn't have the iron on.

Grabbed the unequal nine patch bin (42 blocks) sewed 30 or so 1st sashing to 9P, all 42 have 1st sash. Sewed 30 or so cornerstones to 2nd sashes. My count on that is 38.

This weekend, I have made about a dozen square in a square blocks.

My quilting friend came over Friday and saw my Jerry rig quilt design board and said, I thought you were going to build one. I said, that takes a trip to the lumber yard, and I'm not released to drive yet. She said give me your list, I'll go get them. (She has one of my credit cards for errands.) Delivered yesterday late afternoon. We'll see if my build plan works.

I need the bigger board to layout the 12" crumb blocks

Where are you at in your quilting weekend?
