More Progress


More sewing. More accomplished. Over the last two days, I worked on 96 rail fence blocks for my quilt-in-progress. My eyes were so blood-shot by the end of each evening, but it's all worth it. I'm making progress. All of the blocks are ready. Soon, I will piece the center together. I will add sashing, borders, the houses and churches, and then it'll be ready for quilting. I'm down to the last four days of work on this quilt top. I am so excited.

After a few hours of working on my blocks, I needed to take a much needed chocolate break.



This is how some of the rail fence and nine-patch blocks will go together. I have some plain squares that will go above this row. It's a little too confusing to explain. You'll just have to wait to see the finished quilt in a few weeks.

Ethel, this is coming along beautifully! I am looking forward to seeing the finished quilt. I know it is going to become an heirloom for someone. It is gorgeous already.

Ethel, that bird quilt is a masterpiece. I can't wait to see what you're going to do with all of those houses and churches and this fence rail. You are on a roll girly.
