I finished and turned in my quilt 2 weeks ago at Thomas' Sewing Center in Mesquite. The prize was 25 FQs and a $25 gift certificate for using their row. Because they do not have FQs pre-cut I got a few yard cuts and the rest in half yard cuts. All batiks. They are shown below.
I put this together as minimally as possible because I plan to take it apart and finish the rows into wall hangings for my office. I will get more enjoyment out of them this way. For now I will enjoy it as it is. I have to locate the fabric I want to use as borders for each wall hanging so I am in no rush.
In other quilty news. I have hired a college girl to come over and help me with my organizing. I needed someone that could help me move furniture around and help tidy as we went without commentary and complaining. She has been over for 2 - 2 hour sessions so far and we have made a big impact. I continue to to tidy on my own and can't help but smile when I want to put something away and know where it belongs. By trying to work away at the mess in small bites of time I actually accomplish more because I do not get overwhelmed. I make lists and then we work on that list until time is up or the list is complete. Progress!
More to talk about but I will save it for another post.
