Plodding Along

Progress is happening...

Last month I spent a weekend away in Bathurst.  I took along my box of Nature's Journey.  I was able to sit down and spent the good part of the 2 days stitching on my squares/diamonds.  

While I was stitching I was admiring Sonia (Forever Always) quilting her Nature's Journey.  

This week I am on leave from work and after I did some jobs I decided I would once again pull out my Nature's Journey box.  I reached in and grabbed the bag of small squares and well.....

I sewed into pairs, these became, sets of 3, which grew into nine-patches and then into rows.  I couldn't help myself so before I even hit them with the iron I laid them against my centre block and thankfully I am still in love with the quilt.

So inspiration has hit and the machine is out I am going to continue to work on these and who knows before the end of 2016 I may start quilting......
