Last Friday committed to do a benefit quilt for a relative of my husbands. I knew what I wanted to do, even had it started. I didn't realize how many more blocks it would take. Eighteen more to be exact, anyway got those done yesterday (Monday). DH had to go out of town on business this morning leaving at 4:40 am. I never wake up when he leaves that early. I practically bolted out of bed when I figured out that by doing a string quilt on phone book foundation meant that all that paper would have to be removed yuck. Well that took most of the morning and yes I started at around 5:00 am. Many breaks but got that done, on to putting the blocks together. The only thing left now is the border and the quilting. The benefit is this coming Saturday. I will get it done, I will get it done, I will.......

Definitely rooting for you! I've always done my strip quilts on muslin squares and having done just a small amount of paper piecing I can't imagine how much work it would be to remove all that phone book paper!
