I was pressing the latest 6 blocks (WHICH ARE DONE!) and I happened to glance at the stuff under one of my tables where my scraps are and lo and behold, there is a piece of the ivory I need!

I then remembered that I had cut that last piece in half to iron and starch since there is no reason to work with too large of pieces. There IS enough to finish the body and the last 6 blocks! I am so disgruntled! If I had known that I had that piece then all of the blocks would be done right now because I would have done all 12 at once instead of just six of them!

Hopefully, all the blocks will be done this morning. Soon as I have some coffee.

You're too young to sound like me!

Well, I got addicted to the Jane blocks early on. I'm really enjoying the challenge and I love working on the smaller blocks. Thats just me though. I get bored easily so I think thats why it appeals to me and also why I enjoy the IRRs so much. Its always something different.

You do sound like you have a few things floating around.... :wink:

I admire that you're sticking with it. It's a major undertaking but what an accomplishment.

It's a really rare breed that doesn't have a couple of things floating around (I've heard rumors that some people have dozens, maybe even hundreds!!).

I know...I don't think I'm in the "hundreds" yet...but I do have a pretty large number! So many that DH keeps saying...I see all this stuff going into that room...NO finished quilts coming out!! :lol: :lol:

Just checking I have loved watching the progress of your quilt.

Thanks for checking. ;) I haven't worked on it other than getting another row of hearts glued on and ready to sew.

Don't know what's wrong with me. I have no energy. I go home from work and do nothing at all. Last weekend my granddaughter stayed with me so I didn't get any sewing time in.

I WILL try and get the body of it done this weekend.
