taking everyone's advice


from my last post and NOT doing laundry.  Amazingly, (snicker) if I maintain excellent posture it doesn't bother my back to sew. 

I had the pattern from Kathleen Tracy's website for this sweet little quilt.

(14 x 18)

I cut all the pieces out yesterday, while I was working on the Lemoyne Star blocks. I figured I might as well, since all my fabrics were out and a big mess anyway.
I've also pieced 2 of the star blocks and another star block for the Lincoln schnibbles.  So I'm basically L/Endering 3 tops at one time.  It worked just fine.  Now that I'm so accustomed to piecing more than one thing at a time, it feels like a waste of time not too.

I like having multiple projects on the go too. I like chain piecing and hate ever finishing the chain, so will chain piece the main project, and then have the second project for when I need to keep the chain going. Thus never breaking the chain (unil the bobbin runs out). Makes it more fun.

It's so cute! I know what you mean about the L/E system...if you don't have a project ready to use, it seems like such a waste!
