My new iron lasted just four days, but it was a $4.00 iron i found on clearance at work. I have ordered one with a retractable cord that will be here tomorrow. Without an iron, I am stalled on progress. Yesterday I cut all of the extra pieces from the reveal except the inner border. Today I have been working on sewing together the rows in the four patch corners, and the flying geese.
I am a little burnt out, so I am going to take the next few days off. I pushed through steps to get them done on time and it has lost the fun factor at the moment. I always get a little discouraged at this stage, but this is why I like making blocks one at a time. It's not the most efficient way of piecing a quilt, but I get so bored with all of the chain piecing of units.
