Forward Momentum

If I have something written down,

it gives me more motivation to do it.

Well, maybe not sit-ups or jumping jacks,

but, you know, something fun!

I have been really working on my #9

project from the Project Process Plan

instituted by the Quiltie Buddies.

It's like, I don't want to be the only one

that doesn't progress.

My project was a Basket Sampler kit.

I have been sewing blocks

and have the top pieced.

I even got it hand quilted

with simple diagonal lines across the center
and a little on the border.
It didn't really need to much.
The top is a 24" square.

Each of these baskets is 4 inches.

I'm a pretty good piecer, but find when I do such small

blocks accuracy is critical.

If I take the time to square up each small unit,

and remove even the slightest amount of fabric,

the whole block is very exact.

It does make a difference.

The fun part about working on these blocks was

using my pinned red and white strips and Thangles and 

sewing a whole bunch of these together as an extra bonus.

I just used them as my leaders and enders (Bonnie Hunter)

and look what I got done while getting those baskets done.

 It was a double whammy.

So far so good.

I'm moving forward, not at

lightening speed but heading in the right direction.

Hope you are too!

Until Next Time-
