Lisa what have you started?

Lisa has got me hooked on quilts. I started off doing it just for fun. I thought I could control it but now its gotten out of hand. I am neglecting my other duties in life. There are dirty dishes in the sink. Poor kids are wearing potato sacks to school cause all their clothes are in the laundry. I am obsessed, I am doing it all through the day now. Sometimes I start before I even have my first cup of coffee, this one is taking way too long. I think I have to cut and sew. 3 pieces per square, 16 squares per block, 4 blocks per row, 6 rows HM doing the math now. 1152 just to get the pieces done that isn't including the sewing together. Someone please save me, call the nearest QA group and get me on the 12 step program.

quilting progress




quilting for dummies

Well this is my first entry at the new site and I am not amused.  I don't like change, Carol stamps her feet but keeps on typing.  I still hadn't figured out the whole 360 thing and now I have to learn about this place. Well enough of the rant back to what I am here to blog about.

Having watched Lisa's beautiful quilts and stitching go by it has made me get off my butt and start a new project.  I would have put the pics here but didn't know how.  Thanks to Lisa for all her help thus far.  Lisa you maybe could have warned me a few more times about the sharp blade on the rotary cutter (carol whimpers and looks down at her band-aid).  I am almost finished the front of the quilt.  I would have had it done but can only sew when Nevy's at school and have to clean everything up after each time as I am sewing and cutting on the dining room table.  So go check out my pics if they show up and tell me what you think.  be kind keep that in mind.
