This is what I have been working on for the past 2 days. I listened to no less than 9 lectures and kept my hands busy as well as doing the required test for the Ethics course I am presently working on.
I did not like working with this particular fabric. It was hard to see the stitching lines that I drew on with a frixion pen and the fabric is quite soft and moved around more than others I have worked with. But it is complete and not the worst looking block.

This next one is the last block released. It is challenging my skills. I did not enjoy making all those jelly beans. As a matter of fact, I found a whole jar of jelly beans that one of our granddaughters won at a picnic here at the farm last year. They had been put away so she would not eat them all at once. Humph. I ate some the other day and had a dreadfully upset stomach, so made sure the rest of the jar went out with the trash yesterday. I think they look more like tiny hamburgers. Or maybe yoyos.

There will be 7 more of those round thingies reverse appliqued after I finish that first
one. Not as daunting as it might have been at first thought, but then, I
did have my mind engaged in ethical issues while my hands were busy
stitching.
I can't believe that I am almost done blessings,

These really are challenging blocks. You are a quilting rock star to stick with all of these difficult and "stitch intensive" blocks! Are you starting to feel a little sad as you come to the end of this project???!!
ReplyDeleteA little sad? No. A little annoyed that I have committed to completing this one and will not allow myself to start any of the next 3-4 that I want to start. As long as I was just making blocks with no deadline, I could happily work on 5 quilts. But I think I had the same kind of feelings a year ago when competing the Dear Jane quilt was the only one I worked on. Sad? Maybe. Let's see what I feel like next week.
DeleteIs this the last one? It looks extremely labor intensive.
ReplyDeleteThis is the last block released but I still have one more that is not finished.
