That's going so well... and it's awesome to see how much time each bit is taking!

I just hope no one gets bored of me posting the progress. I like seeing how projects are going together and I do wonder... "how long did that take to do?"

I couldn't possibly inflict this on some nice lady, way too dull and depressing. :lol:

But I ain't no nice lady...

Shipping would be cheap too. Heck, I'd come and pick it up.

And no, my hair still comes back in. I was growing it out a bit earlier this year, walked into an Irish bar here in San Jose, the bouncer (all of 22) cards me and tells me I need a haircut. I told him if when he is 52, if he had hair like mine, he would flaunt it too.

Nice quilt Pam.

Never mind about the hair... if someone carded me at age 52 I would be floating on air!!

Yeah, you're maybe an hour away from me, depending on traffic. That traffic is a bear so I wouldn't want to put you through that. :wink:

They card everyone. I look under 21 like my grandma does.

Oh please don't stop..... I have often wondered whether I'm slow or fast, some days it seems I spend a lot of time for no visible gain. But seeing how long each bit has taken you, I'm not that far behind. Now I can stop pushing myself to be faster!

Just go at your own pace though it's normal to wonder how someone else does things.

I go slow when I'm getting the parts together. I may speed piece, like the HSTs, and run them through the machine one after another but I slow down quite a bit after that. I iron every single step taking a moment to make sure that each part that goes together with another part have the seams ironed in opposite directions. I pin well, at every seam of course, and on a strip of 3" HSTs I would have a pin at each seam and in the middle of each one. That slows down the sewing to remove each pin too.

On something like this I think it is doubly important since it is not 12" blocks or something that I can square up before sewing together.

I WAS in bed but, too hungry to go to sleep since I haven't eaten since a tuna sandwich at 11:30!!! I had a bowl of Grape Nuts.

Now, I'm going back to bed.
