The great thing about this quilt is that it doesn't have to be assembled as you go so missing month 2 hasn't made any difference.
I have my fabric pack and some extra instructions from Lorraine.
Month 3 was supposed to happen last month and month 4 is in 2 weeks so it's a very busy month classwise!
We made the double X block which came together much more quickly and easily than I first thought due to Lorraine's piecing and cutting shortcuts!
Due to my still fairly fragile wrist I only made one and a bit blocks in class but I'm psyched to get cracking with them.
I can't believe how small they are! They will be 5" finished so a bit bigger than Dear Jane and a bit smaller than Nearly Insane! It's good practice for whenever I get around to these quilts I guess!
I'm getting that slightly overwhelmed feeling. I want to work on Lizzy Mae, I have one Mystery quilt in progress and another to start shortly yet I have 2 quilts tops that REALLY need basting and quilting!!!!
Changing feet on the machine and lugging it to class every few weeks really interrupts my mojo.
I think I'll indulge in my craving for speed piecing at the moment and try to get Lizzy Mae done asap. I may leave off doing a few clues of the DaChintzy Code and do them all in one go.
Not sure about Bonnie's Mystery.
I'd like to have one quilt basted and quilting underway by the end of the month. I wonder if it will happen?
I haven't done any sewing today. I did lots of cutting and pinning last night but the sewing machine is still rolling around in the boot of the car and I have a thumping headache.
On a more positive note, I'm pretty sure I've collected all my fabrics for Bonnie's Roll Roll Cotton Boll Mystery Quilt!
