Anyway, I will continue to come here and spur you all on - I want every one of you to get the same feeling I have had the last couple of days, it's half way between a great sense of achievement, and relief that it's done! LOL. I am now looking forward to enjoying it for a good while to come. I haven't ever got tired of looking at all the blocks - even though I remember how some of them were real so and so's to get together. |
Thanks Lesley for your support. I gave my friend Izy the link to your DJ on the board and she sends her congratulations she thinks its beautiful.
I am up to week 31 but haenīt touched DJ for a week. Have some running repairs to do but when that is finished will continue with the quest. Elle |
Well, I haven't been able to make the time to work on Week 30 yet...but Elle....you will be proud of me.....I picked the paper off of 21 blocks last night :lol: It was hard tooo with that pesky cat on my lap, but somehow I managed. Lesley, is it the end of the world as we know it if there are some teeny bits that I just couldn't get to come out???
And Lesley, shy or not...you deserve the comments...you did a fabulous job and yes...you BETTER keep coming here...we NEED you! |
Lesley, you have earned all the comments and more, it is such an enormous task to make one of these quilts and to finish it in less than 7 months! Enjoy all of the compliments! :)
I have 2 blocks finished for Week 29, but I have three dress to hem for the wedding party. I may be able to squeeze some time in to work on my blocks anyway... |
Well done Patti, 21 wow, I didnīt dothat many in one night I know for a fact. I had a plastic bag pinned on to the table with a clip to catch all the pesky bits of paper. I have it on authority that when you wash the quilt the paper gradually disintegrates. It better coz I have some itzy bits left.

Lesley I agree with Patti, you deserve every one of those comments you did an amazing job on that quilt.

Hello. I'm back! Boy have I missed you ladies! My poor computer picked up another virus the last time I was in this Forum and it completely bamboozled my computer for a solid week before my hubby could fix it. I'm finally getting the courage to come here again & it should be fine now that I have the firewall back up on my router.
My time with my 2 yr old grandson went by much too quickly! We were all worried that 2 weeks was too long away from mom and dad but he was fantastic!!! What a great kid! He even did great on the drive home, which was a 16 hour trip. I'm glad he wasn't with us the next day though. We turned around and came straight home & due to construction and accidents, it took us from 8:30am to 4:00am to complete the trip. It wouldn't have been so bad but we took my tiny car to save on gas money. My husband looks like he's climbing out of a clown car and it was brutal on our knees! I spent the past week in bed with migraines recovering from that trip. I am no longer a spring chicken and I have discovered (or realized) that I can no longer do those long one-day turn around trips like that anymore!!! Except for this past week I've been pretty good at trying to keep up with my DJ blocks. I did a lot of the applique while Eli was here. I do have to admit that I hate the cutting instructions on the software. I finally feel as if I've got a good number of the blocks done now. I've a long way to go but at least I'm on my way. 8-) Did everyone enjoy their Fourth of July? Well, for those who are in the US. I hope everyone is having a great summer!! |
