I guess you need to get a maid for the housework and a gardner for the weeds. Then you can spend great time quilting and enjoying.

I agree with Pinkiris. If I think it wil be done in a snap, I will screw something up and take a lot more time than I wanted to.

Definitely agree with the others - cut out the housework!

The good news is that you saw it before you finished it and gave it away. Has anyone ever left a pin in a quilt? So embarrassing!

Ha-ha! Yes, that's about all you can do! Rather laugh than cry!

That pesky housework! It still sounds like you accomplished a world of stuff. I want to see your quilt. Pictures please!

It took me 4 tries to get this block right!! It was quite a waste of fabric of fabric as well, because you cut 2 at a time and swapped the center piece. I thought I'd whip a few up in no time, after all the magazine said "Easy Lesson". Some days are just like that. Here is the link to the block.
