Its Growing!

So it took a bit longer than I wanted, but I finally got the third row complete. I'm really starting to like how it looks, but then again I'm a little partial.

Second Verse, Same As The First

This weekend I completed the final super block, to finish off the second row (see below picture). I'm a fan of the way it is turning out so far!  Only five more rows to go.  I was hoping the process would speed up once I got more practice, but I seem to have hit a one hour per block wall.  Of course that might have more to do with the glass of wine or two, that I tend to consume while sewing, than any real ability on my part (at least I hope so).

My Weekend :-)

This weekend, in a marathon of sewing Saturday evening (5 hours, give or take) I completed the last two "super blocks" to finish the first two rows of the quilt.  After multiple mistakes, and rip outs, I have discovered that five hours of sewing is probably four too many for my level of concentration.  But I pushed through, and here are the results:

Some Catch Up

Okay, first things first. What is this blog about? Well to be perfectly blunt, I don't want to annoy all my facebook friends with endless photos of my first foray into the world of quilting. Because lets face it - as rewarding and enjoyable as I am finding the process - it's probably not for everyone. So I have created this blog, so that those who care, can follow my meandering progress, and read a few thoughts from yours truly. So with out further ado here are the photos of what I have accomplished so far:



And now for a couple close ups of the "super blocks:"


And last but not least, the game plan for the entire quilt:
