Nearing the Finish Line

I spent most of my sewing time on Tuesday making the corner blocks for Shadow of the Bear and I was whipped so I took yesterday off.  I finished the last few strips this morning.


Now I'm ready to square everything up and put the blocks together. I'm debating about a border and how big, if I decide to add one.  

I had hoped to have a quilt top by the end of today, but I decided to make headway on Quilt Two with the remaining SotB blocks.  


Well, I seemed to be thwarted at every turn--not enough of a certain fabric, lost pieces, wrong fabric on the outside corners of a checkerboard block...


Who could do anything with that mess?  Do you ever have projects/days like that?

  1. Sorry to hear that you had "a day", Libby. I'm pretty sure we all have days like that from time to time.

  2. Oof, I relate! That is a pretty block up top. I have so much house related work to do today, and all I want to do is sew.

  3. Oh, yes -- those days occur. But fortunately they pass. This will be such a great quilt.

  4. Some days are just that way. Hopefully you were able to make order out of the mess once you got back to it.
