    Default Twenty Blocks Sewn in One Day

    Okay, the blocks only have seven pieces each, but there are thirty blocks. I just finished. Whew! Tomorrow I will lay them out to see what the placement will be.

    I am sorry I messed that up. I really did all thirty since about noon yesterday. I am naming it "Do Not Disturb" like the little signs in hotels. I plan to keep this one and spend a lot of time wrapped in it with my eyes closed. As I fell into sleep last night, I was thinking I could quilt it with sheep all over. Just a thought.

    I plan to add a border but not sure yet what color. It will be 56 x 66 when done.

    That Is great..just goes to show that when you are not disturbed much quilting can get done. I sometimes cook enough for several days so that I can devote more time to do what I want. DH does not eat at regular times..so he uses the microwave a lot. For a Mexican man he doesn't expect me to serve him or warm his tortillas..learned that a long long time ago. Happily marries 43 yrs.
