Hey there, JanRN ... keep remembering, I don't have a life!!! .... no husband, no kids, no parents, no hired hands, no farm ... leaves me with a lot of time on my hands! :) Now if I had all those others, well ... you get the picture!
First of all, remember I had not sewn all week. And second, that r of those blocks were done before I started this weekend. So that means I only did 7 The crazy thoughts are waning with reality and sensability. I'm somewhat getting to the point where I want to get it done!! Last night, I truly could not see the trees for the forest of blocks ... and had no clue what fabrics/colours I had and which I needed to add into the whole lot. I fear that if I extend that project, I may come to hate it and you know what happens at that point ... UFO'itis! Last night I also started to fear that my green was not right for the sashing. I think I'd better stop talking and listening to myself. hhmmmmmm?? a sure symptom of the "not a life"!! :eek: |

Alas! I crossed the 100 marker .... and have just posted blocks #91 thru 100 for those interested.
Yesterday was to be Pony Club day, though I never got there. I did some cooking, baking and laundry and then went back to FWS instead. Now I'm starting to think about setting PC aside til I get all the FWS done, being that I'm so close to the end. Last night I was choosing fabrics for the next blocks and felt like I was going cross eyed. While I have all the blocks on my design wall, I just couldn't "see" what fabrics/colours, I'd used too much or too little. Or what I needed to get in there to make it all blend together. arrggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!! And then ... am I crazy? I'm starting to think of doing a "few" more blocks, so my FWS can be square! NUTS? |

And don't forget to add in there ... all your volunteerism! Thankfully DH was NOT included in that list ... a good sign!! :) Yes, amidst all that number crunching, you definitely need a "study break" once in awhile. NO not just need, you DESERVE it! :) I used to say, I was coming out for air!!! :) |

Now that I have the blocks all made, I thought I'd show you what they look like on my design wall.
They're pretty tight, not spaced for the sashings. I haven't done any arranging ... they're all in numerical order so far. [ATTACH=CONFIG]307730[/ATTACH] |

Quilt E, I love your blocks! Beautiful colours and such accurate work. Have fun piecing them together.

Wow is just an understatement and it's not finished yet! Nicky noticed the maple leaf front and center. I had to look for our 4-H block! When final placement you should put it close to the center as well. You have a nice balance of colors as well as values as we look at it today.

I'm in awe!! What beautiful blocks. You really have a nice balance of colors--this is going to be a fantastic quilt!! I can't believe you did it so fast and so well. You are a rock star, QE!!
