Passed the 3,000 Piece Mark

D-2 passed the 3,000 piece mark

Mouse in the Mirror was such a fun block. I'm glad I saved a smaller print for this one. It went smoothly with no fussy cutting or directional prints to deal with. 

Passing the 3,000 piece mark has given me a boost---I'm really ready for whatever block tomorrow brings. I moved all the piles separated by techniques (applique, combination & piecing) into a single stack for this last phase.

The fabrics were selected last night...I feel like I have all my little ducks in a row. 

Happy Quilting,

BLOCK BLITZ BEGINS!

Today's block is E-7. This was not exactly my favorite block (read: redo!) but I'm grateful to be able to mark it done. This makes 140 blocks, inching closer to 3,000 pieces. I imagine I'll hit that milestone some time this week.

This one=139!!!

#139 L-12

Oh my! There are just 30 blocks remaining...and 30 days in September. I think we've got the perfect situation: BLOCK BLITZ 2010!!

Let's see if I can manage to post a block a day for the month to countdown to Main Jane completion and my day of birth. Not that I get this out of hand annually...but this year it's extra special.

No doubt there will be days that I don't feel like sewing----that does happen every once in awhile---but this is a bit of accountability that I'll need to give myself the next year to work on construction and the triangles. I'd love to have a finished top for my next birthday!!

Loyal readers may have noticed L-12 was partially constructed earlier this week...it is the last of my prepped combinations so I'll have to get busy!!

We'll have to celebrate together if I can pull this off---details coming soon.

Best Wishes and HAPPY QUILTING!!!

Another 3 Blocks Completed!!

F-8, K-3, G-8

I cannot believe I managed to get a few more done today. Since they were slightly more difficult than yesterdays, I'm very happy with 3. Just another complete block tomorrow and I'll be on a countdown of my final 30!!

 

Hope to see you back here tomorrow with more good news.

 

Happy Quilting,

Another 6 Blocks

After a busy day in the sewing room, I have another 6 blocks completed. For some reason I thought Labor Day was tomorrow (Wishful Thinking?). I have another week to stay busy in my sewing room before the long weekend. Have a wonderful week! If I happen to get some more blocks done, I'll keep posting as they're completed.

Happy Quilting,

Heather

Tally: 135 blocks since January 2010, pieces: 2840 and counting
