ALL IN A DAY'S WORK

I think I'm losing it.  Maybe it's because I can't get up to the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  I need socialization.  I need to get out of the house.  I need to pet some fabric and see what's new in the store.  I need help...as you can see from the picture above.

On my last post, I had a link to a Crown Of Thorns pattern.  Yesterday I decided I had to make that.  It is paper pieced and I was eager to focus on something different, new.  I made the block and hurried to my sun room to take a picture.  Yikes!  It didn't look right.  Something was wrong.  What did I do?

I took the block back to my sewing room, ripped it apart, and remade it.  Now it looks like the picture on the pattern.  It took me all day to complete one block.  Gads!

That was yesterday.  Today, I was determined not to stay in my funk and decided to do some more paper piecing.  I chose to make another block for the quilt that I had started in a paper piecing class that I took at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  I made this block and it took me all morning.  Paper Piecing sure takes a lot of thought!

These are the blocks I have completed so far (I just did the one today).  Maybe someday I'll have enough blocks to make a quilt.

I hope things are going better for you.  Stay safe.  And I'll try to get a better link for you today.

As you know, the Attic Window Quilt Shop is closed during this stressful time, however, Chris is still in the shop and taking orders.  You can call her or email her at BrownAttic@aol.com. 

ON ANOTHER NOTE:

•  I love this block that I saw on Freemotion By The River.  Connie has a tutorial on her blog here.  I think it will be a fun way to use some  of my scraps.
