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"!!

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.

Quilt E, they look fabulous! I see you have a Maple Leaf right in the center!

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.
