I've sewn 41 red and white blocks. 40 of them have been sewn into the first five rows of the quilt. There will be eight rows total so I need to sew 23 more blocks. I'm hoping that I can cut those out today and finish stitching them together tomorrow. I'm eager to cut out the last two border appliqués for "It's a Wonderful Life", but can't do that until I get all the red and white fabrics off my cutting table LOL!Gratitudes:
1. Good results from the cortisone shot in my knee
2. Front flowerbeds edged nicely and free of weeds
3. Iris blooming everywhere
4. Retirement!
5. A second granddaughter on the way!
I *love* this quilt! I'm glad you are feeling a little better.
