My DGS was born yesterday & I have lost some of my spare time. I did take my fabric to the laundromat to get it washed, starched, squared off & pressed. Maybe that will save me some time. It'll be next week before I get to it.
Some of us wanted to get this thread up for those who have been better than me & got theirs done.

I'm hoping to get mine done this weekend.

I'm so frustrated! The place that I took my fabric to be squared up did a lousy job!I had planned to use today for making the block instead I spent several hours repressing my accent fabrics last night & 3 hours pressing the bluebonnet fabric today then another hour cutting it. :cry: I paid $18.00 for them to do this for me. :thumbdown: This is my least favorite part of making quilts. I thought I had found a way to just start cutting.
It'll take several days to make it now. :-( I promise I'll get it done!

That's a pretty cute chicken! And I like the WOW shamrocks so don't worry about the appliqué one. :thumbup:
