Happy International Quilting Day

Hope you are all finding some time to sew today, or quilt, or bind, or ... you get the picture. 

Friends' Favourite is growing rapidly. Mostly due to the sick days I had to take last week from work.

I sew my quilts in quadrants in an effort to eliminate long rows of stitching. So, this morning I had quadrants A, B, C and D. 


As I was assembling the quadrants C and D, this happened.

There are 15 blocks per row. My first thought was that I had sewed only 7 blocks in the Quadrant B's rows. The latter is to be sewed to Quadrant A and added to the left of this picture. Thus, leaving Quadrant D to have 8 blocks per row. These 2 quadrants were almost all sewed up before I realized there are a few blocks missing. I was not happy about undoing all these stitches with so many intersections to watch for. 

So I decided to add more blocks. It was an easier task and beside, it's not like I'm gonna run out of fabric tomorrow, right? Lol. I probably have enough squares cut already to add another 5 rows, lolll.  

Have I just jinxed myself?!?? 

Anywho! Here is where I'm at. 

 

Half of Friends' Favourite is a flimsy. 

As you can see, in the battle of the seasons, Winter has the upper hand this morning. 

Now that my goal for March is done (getting half of FF done), I will enjoy some slow stitching on this Quilting Day. 

Once these stitches are done, I will quilt the floral border on my machine. This mini quilt was given to me. She had started to hand quilt it and to honor her, I decided to finish the quilting by hand. Since it is not my colour nor my aesthetic, I can't wait to finish it now and donate it.
