It's been a loooooong time since I posted here. Purely out of shame, due to my lack of effort on the SAL front. But I have made some progress and have a photo to prove it. I took this immediately after Chooky's previous email reminding us to pull our fingers out.
None of these blocks are completed as you can see - some pieces are sewn on but none of the stitching has been done yet. Since this photo was taken, I have done the best friends, book and shoes blocks. I also have all my freezer paper shapes cut out ready for the remaining blocks, I just need to decide which fabrics to use for which piece. I haven't cut out any strips or squares yet, I'm nervous about it for some reason - I guess I'm worried I'm going to make the quilt look really crap if I do it all wrong.
Anyway, thanks Chookyblue for cracking that whip - you're quite the motivator!! I am so looking forward to being able to show you all my finished quilt, and will hopefully not be too far behind on the deadline. Best of luck to everyone else still working away at it, and congratulations to those who have already completed their masterpieces.
Finally, I just have to show you all a photo of the reason (or my excuse, anyway!) why I am not keeping up to date. Meet the cause of my sleepless nights (yes, STILL!),and of my inability to focus on anything else for more than two minutes.
On that note, see ya!
