The last time I wrote about this quilt was on the 16th. We are now five days later and I am seeing some progress. At that time I basically only had the one row completed. Since, I've made up a bunch of the scrappy strips units that make up the corners of the main blocks. Kind of creating a frame around each one.
Slowly but surely, the white of the design wall is disappearing. I counted them last night while I sat there taking stock of my progress and found out that I only need to make 32 more scrappy squares. Each scrappy square starts with a 5 1/2" square foundation that once complete, gets cut down the middle horizontally through the middle strip.

I am really getting there! I feel there is a real chance of me having this done for the end of the month, or at least the top done. This quilt is part of the American Patchwork & Quilting UFO challenge. If I get this top done, that would be a 50% success rate. If I were talking to my children about their school marks, that would not be good at all, but since this is only quilting, I am giving myself a break. Lol. Even the other 50% saw some progress, so I am happy.
Today I am off to a quilt workshop with folks from my Guild. It's an all day thing. Looking forward to it. Not like I need to make yet another quilt, but hey........ A least this one looks easy and I am using up my stash. I'll post about it later.
