Well, plans are made to be broken at a minutes notice. Sunday's plans were to see about finishing the centre quilting of the Pleated Log Cabin quilt. As you can guess, that didn't happen. Instead I got a call from my sister needing a favor. This one was exciting. My niece went into labour at midnight. The favor was to pick up the other two children at 11:00 am and look after them until 5:00 pm. Their ages are 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 years. Needless to say we were occupied all day.
Later in the afternoon though, while the youngest was napping, I had a chance to do some piecing. Nothing to complex or time consuming. The eldest loves my huge basket of scraps. She pulls the pieces out one at a time and enjoys looking at the colourful fabric while she makes piles/towers.

During this time I was sewing the chevrons for the Midnight Flight quilt. The Saturday night after I went to bed, my daughter decided she was going to help me and drew all the lines on the light fabric for the chevrons and the bonus half square triangles. I felt like I had a little elf come to visit and magically completed one of my least favourite chores. It was a nice surprises. I had a small pile done and she managed to do two more piles. I decided to leave them beside my machine, in place of the previous bow tie blocks. This way I will have a better chance of getting them done, sooner rather than later.
I had forty each of the two sides of the chevrons done before I started. Now I have another twenty-four sets. I am almost half way done. This is the last unit I need to make for these blocks.
