This morning I did a lot of puttering about. I took care of putting some things away and cleaning up in my quilt room. I sat for a bit to have my morning tea.
I am the type of person that likes to see and track my progress, so while I sat and drank my tea, I did some colouring. We are never too old to colour, I am sure the people who came up with the adult colouring books are making a mint. In my case I was colouring the pattern for my pineapple quilt. Each colour represents a different type of block.
The green colour is for the four corner blocks, the pink is for the side half squares, the turquoise is the outer full blocks that I have to make one corner black and the purple is for all the remaining regular full blocks. As you can see from the diagram I am almost half way done. I am actually at 40% of the way done with the purple full blocks.

I get so excited when I see progress, that It inspires me to keep going. Now that I have the two machines set up permanently I can leave the pieces for the pineapple blocks beside my machine. This way if I have even just a few minutes, I can come and sew up a few pieces. As I took the time on Thursday to cut up the black, blue and green edges, I have all that I need to make more blocks.
Another thing I did this morning was the random layout for the charity Jean quilt I am making. It is on my list of twelve that turned into eighteen. I have all the blocks labelled, the border fabric and backing fabric picked out. When time allows I will sew it up.
This afternoon on my puppy sitting time, Maddie fell asleep. This gave me some time to finish a peach Dresden plate block. Sorry about the shadows, I didn't realize I was taking a picture, of my hands taking a picture. This evening I also prepared another five more purple centres, for the next blocks. I counted what is left on these blocks and was pleasantly surprised to find out I only have eight and a half left to do.
Before and after puppy duty, I was ironing all the very small hexagons that I washed, that are part of the hexagon quilt I am reconstructing. All this between puppy training class this morning and son's hockey game. I'd have to say that this day has been very productive!!! I like these kind of days.
