Quiltathon Day 2-final update

Well, this was a fun and productive 2 day adventure. 

 I am tired. 

This evening at 7:15 I finished the final border on Morris (we're on a first name basis now that we've spent so much time together).

I didn't have enough yardage of Morris wkshop fabric for the outer border but I did have something in the stash that works well.  The top measures 81.5 x 90.  I have the binding strips cut but will sew them tomorrow. 

I didn't get to my Jelly roll blocks.

But I did get these arranged.

I brought the big churn dash block up with me (block in lower left)-I just can't take that dark brown---toooo dark.  So I'm going to un stitch the block tonight while staring at the TV and re-sew it with a less dominating fabric tomorrow.

Quiltathon Day 2-update

Ok, first a picture of the Snow bound blocks.  I put them away--enough of them for a while.

I went down to sew at about 10am.  First though I spent about 10 minutes drawing out the "spineless feathers" I posted about a few days ago.  I'm going to do a separate post after this one. 

Then I just started to sew the 2.5" squares together. 34 per strip, 3 strips on each side, 2 strips on top and bottom.

I've stopped for lunch and COFFEE.
 I have the side borders sewn on and the top 2 strips pieced but not sewn together yet.  Whew!  I'm loving it! 

So, ok a little blog surfing while the coffee brews, the other post about the spineless feathers and back to fun, I mean work.  :)

I'm going to eat a sandwich today--the brownies are all gone! Dang!

Quiltathon update 5:30

Here's what I got done this afternoon.

The 3 SnowBound blocks on the right are blanket-stitched.  The one with the tree has 2 more blocks underneath that still need done and above that is the print out for the 8th blocks-- I printed it out today.  It must have just been put on the Bunny Hill site.  I thought I checked it a day or 2 ago and it wasn't up yet.  So now I have another one to prepare as well!

On the very left side of the picture you can just see 3 stacks of 2.5" squares. I cut them out after deciding on a checkerboard 2nd border for Morris WS top.  I cut 322 squares.  I'm going to do 2 rows on the top and bottom (4-patch) and 3 rows (9-patch) on the sides, that should give me an 80 x 90 finished top-after I add the final 6" border. 

So for lunch I had coffee and 2 brownies!!  I'm starved so time for din-din.  Paul won't be home from work until late tonight and Meg is working.  The dogs are sleeping by the AC vents-it's so hot out they won't go out.  So I have all evening to sew.
