 Sometimes I wish I could quilt every day. Other times I know I need a break from it. 

Monday was spent with Lisa and her UFOs. Tuesday my fella friend was here visiting. By the time we got back from taking him home I was too tired. I didn't get my 20 minutes in quilting yesterday. And that's ok. I needed the break.

Today I made up for it. I woke up raring to go in the sewing room. But Lisa had asked me to join her, so I went before lunch. It would be more fun. I guess it makes sense if we're both home sewing and she's right across the street. I just had to choose something to work on that was ready to go.

I ended up taking the scrap rail fence blocks and strings.  Four hours later I had made another dozen blocks. That brings it to 43 blocks.  I take that back. 3 are short a strip.


I think I'm stopping there though it won't make a big quilt with 7 1/2" blocks. I'm debating borders though. I remembered seeing these strip segments in a box on the top shelf of the closet just a week ago.

After I put my blocks on the wall when I stopped last time I could see it desperately needed some brighter fabrics. There were a few but it was lacking. So I used them generously and now I'm anxious to use the flannel wall again I have a phone call in a bit I will do it then. 

Done. I little rearranging once those 3 strips have been sewn. Then I'll stack them  in order to sew at Lisa's and decide on the border. Sure was fast and fun.  Lisa's having a blast with hers. 

Maybe I'll have a chance to quilt in the morning a bit before I need to run to town. 

Are you quilting today?
