Hey Blog Buddies,
It's quite the lovely spring day here (finally!). In addition to my round robin project, I've been working a little on my quilt. After I got my blocks completed, I laid them out on the bed according to the pattern (don't have a design wall) and then carefully sewed them together in strips. Well, when I went to sew strip #1 to strip #2, I sewed them together in the reverse order, so I had to "unsew" that long seam...
As you can see, I've gotten the strips almost separated--only 1.2 more blocks! It's amazing how much longer it takes to unsew than it does to sew strips together! I'm definitely out of my comfort zone any time I use my sewing machine, so after I get the strips separated, I think I'll take a short break from this piecing project and do some stitchin' instead.
Speaking of quilting, the cryptic title of my post refers to a New Blog on the Block that I want to introduce: Prairie Quilts and Other Things. Shirley and I go way back--all the way to high school--and she is a much better quilter than I am! If you have a minute, please click on over to her blog, take a look around and say "hi."
That's it from here. Hope you all had a great weekend. And thanks, as always, for visiting!

I hate it when you have to unpick you feel as though you have wasted valuable time.
Catching up on your latest posts ~ great goodies and projects ~ and those pamphlets from the 70's are awesome!!
Happy days hugs for you x
So sad about all that "un-sewing"...but it will be gorgeous when finished! Nice work.
That is going to be a fabulous finish--so sorry about the unsewing... hope the rest of the project goes smoothly :)
I feel your pain..everytime I go on the sewing machine I feel I am taking my life so far out of its comfort zone the only other place which could compare is bungee jumping rofl. I think your quilt is going to look lovely though..I love the colours!
Oh no .... me and the sewing machine are not best friends!
