Well I didn't get anything quilty done. We ended up going out of town where I accumulated more fabric and a 15 degree ruler. It just happens sometimes.

Is the virtual quilting weekend continuing tomorrow (Monday)? Here everything will be closed for MLK day.

I confess, I didn't do anything with quilting or sewing. Still waiting for this rash to get better before I go near my fabric. Kind of afraid to iron after getting a painful rash from the ironing part. but, I did find my next project patterns, and fabric I love, just didn't buy it and I did clean, a little

I made my first real paper piecing blocks. I have 2 half-circle compasses made. While I like the effect, I'm not sure this is a technique I will use a lot in the future once I finish this quilt.

Wow, that's a really pretty quilt you made with Union Jack Blocks. I just made the one block to see if I could make and do the paper piecing. It was fun, but time consuming. Thanks for the tip on making the center strip to get the pieces even. That's smart.

I only got one and half blocks done, I just lost my mojo this weekend. I work in the accounting field and January is hell month because of year end work. I am down one person in my department which means that work transfers to me plus my own work so I am pretty wiped by the weekend. Here is to February it cannot come soon enough.

Good morning everyone...where's the coffee? I ended the quilting day yesterday with having finished all of my rows for my quilt top. I started sewing them together and of course, being tired at the end of the day, I made some mistakes. I seem to do that at every day's end. I should quit while I'm ahead. So, this AM I'm going to have to do some ripping and re-sewing. I should have the top done today and that's as far as I can go with it until my backing fabric comes in the mail. I think I'll spend the rest of the VQW organizing my sewing area. I've really enjoyed seeing all of the beautiful quilting projects that everyone has been working on.

This has been so much fun. I love these VQWs, spurs me on to finish things up. I have obligations for the rest of the day, so no more sewing for me. Have fun everyone, will check in later to see how everyone is doing.
