I finished sewing together my moonglow blocks on Sunday. They came together so quickly, I started to have delusions of grandeur: that I’d have a finished quilt top to show off come Friday.
Then I started the border. Three strips down…
Four to go.
These are a lot slower to sew together than I expected. The cutting of the strips, the pinning and then the long seams. Of course, I also have to make four sides. So if I think about it, I’ve already sewed (in seam length) almost the same as assembling the blocks. So I guess it hasn’t gone that slowly. I just grossly underestimated the amount of sewing.
But while I won’t have an assembled quilt top this week, I should do for the following.
For tonight, I’m giving my fingertips a break and am starting Laura’s scarf.
