I'll still lack the rest of the tris and 3 kites.

Doesn't reaching a milestone of completion make you feel great AND a bit let down? I've been experiencing both emotions when I hit each milestone. I have enjoyed hand sewing Jane's Journey so much. I have been looking at Sylvia's Bridal Sampler a lot, thinking that I ought to get some of the blocks ready to hand piece. We are in Waco, Texas where DH had an interview that lasted most of the day today. I sure hope he gets this job.
Not looking forward to packing, moving & selling our house, but there is a lovely little quilt shop here in town - found it today and only bought 1/2 yard of an aqua & green batik. I have NEVER spent that little at a quilt shop. Having hand piecing to do would be nice, especially after I get everything packed up. Don't know. Still need to get JAne done and ready to quilt. If DH gets this job, he will need to be living here by Nov. 12 or 15 - aghhhhhhhhhh! We will know tomorrow.

Kathy....good luck! I know moves are a b*%$# to go through, but sometimes its nice to explore a new place once you get there. You already found a great little shop! Can you tell that I've moved around alot in my life?? :lol:
I'm happy and sad about finishing the blocks. Happy to be this far in the process, but scared as I get closer to having to hope everything matches up well in the sewing together the top part of it. Of course, that is looking ahead quite a bit as I still have a few tri's to finish and then cut out all my "betweens"...and of course all the hand quilting.

I must also say, thank you all for caring so much about me I was really touched to know that I had been missed. I should have told you that I had company coming.
