Too Much Color

In the light of day, the color is toooooo strong in the photos I posted yesterday.  The  border around the 4 square is much softer.  Guess I shouldn't fool around with the camera settings.

Quilt Along Update

Here are the 4square blocks . All 12 of them.

And the 16 patch square.

And here they are all together, waiting for direction. 

My sore throat hasn't gotten much better.  Anything cold seems to bring a bit of relief.

Quilt Along UPDATE

All the 4 patches are completed, and half of the 16 patches are done.  I have a terrible sore  throat, and now an irritating cough, and itchy eyes.  Must be allergies.I've lived in Northern Virginia for  23 years, and now I'm developing allergies??????  Hope to finish up the rest of the 16 patches today.  Not too far behind.

The End of FNSI

The bag is complete.  The interior of the bag has a large pocket and  an oversized sunglass case.    This is for the Tote Bag Swap I am participating in. Finished 4 squares for the Quilt Along.  Good Night, Friday Night Sewers!  

Friday Night Sew In

Ready, set, go!  Have a totebag to finish and then, if I'm not too tired I'll start on my first quilt.  The pieces are cut, but somehow I think I didn't cut the charm packs correctly. UGH!  You'd think a retired teacher could read directions.  Only time will tell... Off I go!!

No cutting today

No subbing today. No cutting today either.  Around 10 a.m. I started feeling achey.  I went to Joann Fabrics to use my last 40% off coupon.  Picked out a different fabric for the binding of the quilt, for the Quilt Along.  By the time I got home my arms felt like 50 pound bags of potatoes.   Off I went for a nap.  Woke up feeling a little bit better. I'll be a roving sub at an elementary school all day tomorrow, so it won't be until Saturday, before I can tackle the fabric.

Fabric for the Quilt Along

My charm packs with, and then without background fabric.
