Instead, I have been cutting... Sarah and Jennifer, did you count the number of pieces required for the back of the Across The Sea quilt - well, did you? Over 170!!!!!
Mine are now all cut and awaiting instruction - I am not attempting to second guess this one!
I now need to make a list of all the things I want to get done tomorrow, in the hope that I don't just come home from drop-off and fall asleep!
Before I go, here are my blocks for my nutty Brit Bee friend Susan, she's posted about them today, so I will too! Using her GO! cutter, that she won in a giveaway, (insert ever-so slightly jealous tone of voice here); she sent us the fabric for 2 Drunkard's Path blocks. I used Kerry's flippity doodah method of sewing the curves, and honestly without a hitch, they came together perfectly!
It's going to be a mighty colourful quilt, to match Susan's mighty colourful language!
One hundred and seventy pieces? Well I have to get on with my goodie swaps first so I`ll be cutting later in the week me thinks. Your DP blocks are great and that Susan swears like a Brit...you wouldn`t think she was Canadian at all!
ReplyDeleteIf the other blocks are as colourful as yours, I better find my sunglasses!!
ReplyDeleteAnd of course her mighty colourful personality! I might chicken out of a pieced back for the QAL and go for snuggles instead. Your bee blocks are fab btw. Jxo
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are super cute!
ReplyDeleteGosh, those blocks are lovely! I love the circles contrasting with the squares and the colours are great too!
ReplyDeleteI am the epitome of grace and style and nothing but sweetness and joy ever passes my lips!!
ReplyDeleteGotta love a good list! Have a peaceful productive day tomorrow :) (I'll be thinking of you whilst I'm at work! (sob, sniffle!)
ReplyDeleteLol! Ok, I'll admit it, I never counted a thing. I was too busy trying to make it look pretty!!!! Lol, the pressure is on now :-) Your Bee blocks are lovely too!
ReplyDeleteHave you had bionic implants??? I get dizzy just reading about your plans! Have a great child free day
ReplyDeleteA whole day sewing tomorrow? I'm actually excited for you!! Cant wait to see what you come up with :-)
ReplyDeletelol- had no idea- thank goodness Sarah did all the math for the back! So envious of your 6 hour sewing spree! FUN!
ReplyDeleteOh, so jealous, I will be thinking of you sewing away while I am at work! I havn't done any sewing since Saturday - boo
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn I left a comment on this already - am playing about with "next" buttons and new interfaces and feeling a bit techie........have a great, peaceful, Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteUh, yeah, I have written it all down (4 sheets of notepad) but I'm not cutting a thing till I see how it goes together because I have 60" wide fabric rather than 44", and also my quilt front is 3 1/2" shorter all round due to not having the white border (not entirely looking forward to the cutting lol)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your sewing day today!
Love Sheila's comment!
ReplyDeleteHere's me thinking Susan is as innocent as the day she was born - all sweetness and light and never a cross word ;o) Bee blocks are wonderful, enjoy your sewing day!
I love what you've done with your bee blocks. You and Susan have inspired me to take the DP plunge and try this out for a small charity quilt. I am super excited.
ReplyDelete170 pieces!?! In a back!?!? Wow - I can't wait to see it :)
