January Quiltathon...

I decided to try and participate in Judy's Quiltathon's this year when I can.  So here goes...

I did make some progress today - not as much as I would have liked but it is what it is...

I am working on Bonnie Hunters Double Delight... The advantage of starting late is that I got all my 'pieces parts' cut out for all the sections.  At the end of Saturday I've got all of the section 1 blocks sewn and pressed and some of them trimmed down to size.  Sunday I'll take a break from those and sew some of the 9 patch strips from section 3 and then go back to the blocks in section 2.

Sunday I'm going to try and get a bunch of stuff sewn and then spend my time pressing and trimming and watching a movie.  I've set my laptop up and can watch an "Instant Movie" from Netflix - but since I can't hear as well while I'm sewing - I'll watch while I'm pressing and trimming. 

Leftovers are on the menu for Sunday so after breakfast I'm just heating stuff up... no more cooking!

I counted and I've only got 23 trimmed out... another 97 to trim in that stack.

Yay, for you! You sound so happy about teaching...

I have to dig deep to achieve the stamina needed for so many of the same block. My Sudoku quilt is an example, but I did come back to it after a year away.

Thanks for stopping by!
