Quiltathon Day 4

This Quiltathon with Patchwork Times has been a blast.

Until this morning!

It all started out innocent enough.

I was going to quilt while Ernie slept in.

So I started where I left off yesterday afternoon.

Piano key borders, free motion, add texture, practice straight lines.

What I didn't check when I put the quilt under the needle was my backing.

I flopped it under!

I have 21" of unpicking to do. 

I might cry while I do it.

I think I might put this aside until TV time later today.

New Plan!

I'm going to sew En Provence blocks together instead. 

I will shed no tears while doing that. 

Day 4 is going to be all about fun!

10:30 check in. 

2 blocks of En Provence have been layed out on the design boards.

One block is sewn, block 2 is partially sewn.

I'm also using the sashing for my leaders/enders.

I love how this is looking!

Maybe I can have 1/4 of my quilt top sewn together today.

3:15 check in.

4 blocks and 10 sashing units complete!

It was a good day sewing. 

I even have most of the whoopsie unpicked.  

Only about 5" to go. 

It was nice to snuggle under the quilt for a while. 

Thanks Judy L for a fun weekend.

I'm excited to be so close to finished on my Tumalo Trail quilt.

Maybe by the end of the week I can post about it's finish.
