What was I thinking?
 

Last Friday committed to do a benefit quilt for a relative of my husbands. I knew what I wanted to do, even had it started. I didn't realize how many more blocks it would take. Eighteen more to be exact, anyway got those done yesterday (Monday). DH had to go out of town on business this morning leaving at 4:40 am. I never wake up when he leaves that early. I practically bolted out of bed when I figured out that by doing a string quilt on phone book foundation meant that all that paper would have to be removed yuck. Well that took most of the morning and yes I started at around 5:00 am. Many breaks but got that done, on to putting the blocks together. The only thing left now is the border and the quilting. The benefit is this coming Saturday. I will get it done, I will get it done, I will.......

You can do it!

Of course you will Mimi. Fingers crossed, you will get it done!!

I am cheering you on!!! Be sure to show us a photo!!!

I really don't enjoy removing the paper. It takes so long and leaves such a mess!. Please post a picture of your finished quilt. I would love to see it :)

Of course you will!

we all sticheing right along with you. some of us do our best work on a time line. here cheering you on.

Definitely rooting for you! I've always done my strip quilts on muslin squares and having done just a small amount of paper piecing I can't imagine how much work it would be to remove all that phone book paper!

You will get it done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
