1st - It is a new month AND it is my birthday month. Yay me. It is also the last high pressure month, I hope. I have a few deadlines this month and then perhaps things will slow down a bit. One can hope anyway. After tea with my sweetie, I set about cleaning up the office from the previous quilts. All the scraps from the black/white/red/grey quilt are cut as well as starting on the prints from squaring off last month's thrift store binge and put into the system. I then look at the stack of minky I have leftover and my brain takes over and moves into play mode. Apparently I am not feeling the pressure today. I have a few blocks leftover and I put those together into a large square. There are still scraps left so I set to piecing them into 4 1/2" blocks and then into another large square. Now I have two and no idea what to do with them. I use CS blocks as leaders and enders and add another 6 to my stack. It hasn't been an overly productive day, but I have certainly had fun. Quilt Guild night. Played with minky leftovers from baby quilts. I know -- I have work to do but checked out for awhile. AND I had fun, so there.
