For WMUTeach and those still on the fence or still waiting to start -- there is plenty of time and you all will learn from some of us fools rushing in. Again, there is next year too. I really do go to quite a bit of planning to clear my schedule (and my sewing desk) for this/these projects. We do need our "non sewing" participants to help answer us from a slightly more objective view.
I am making a couple extra units each time because I am planning my quilt to be bigger than designed. I'm trying to keep that number low enough that if the pieces I'm making don't ever get used I'm ok with that, and that I will probably still need to make a few more at the end but at least I'll have a head start.
Haven't been downstairs yet today, first my coffee and internet time. I end up yesterday about half done, or at least half sewn. My first chore for the day is the dreaded pressing, I've got a few complete blocks and a bunch of half blocks to press. Then my squares are sorted out for the final round of cutting and piecing.
Musically I'm up to Jim Croce with those steadily depressing low-down mind-messing working at the car wash blues!
For Joe'smom -- a lot of my music is designated as Americana, from those Avett Brothers at the beginning of my latest alpha journey to Lucinda Williams who is close to my end. And in-between there are many love songs, starting with Abba
I also listen to audio books, or sometimes wanting to hear human voices I put on TV shows were people are doing interesting things while speaking in nice voices to each other... So Main Cabin Masters and not Real Housewives
I am actively avoided as much news as I can except at my designated computer times.
