I am REALLY, really, Really excited that I finished the Carpenter’s Wheel top on Friday night. DH was preparing for a Native Sons event and I sewed after dinner until 10. As I have said before, after dinner is not my best time, but I have been getting good sleep lately (no coughing), so I was up for the challenge.<\/p>\n

\"Carpenter's<\/a>
Carpenter’s Wheel top finished<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I had about half a block to finish sewing.\u00a0 Then I had to sew it together and sew that block to the last row. Once I completed that section<\/a>, I had to sew that section to the right hand corner section<\/a> to make one giant bottom row. After that it was just one long seam to join the two halves of the quilt together.<\/p>\n

I did it and stay stitched around the whole quilt. As I knew it would be, the quilt is a giantess.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, I sent DH off to a Native Sons event and laid out the top in the living room and measured it. Laid out is kind of misnomer, because the thing is too large for my floor.<\/p>\n

I also made the label, but had to go and get ink for the printer, so I did that, then came home and started sewing the back. I promised myself I would stick to LARGE pieces and stay away from fiddly sewing. I mostly did that. The back is mostly 3 large pieces of fabrics with a few fill in smaller pieces. Nothing crazy and I didn’t finish it feeling horrible. I felt find and switched to another project right after I finished.<\/p>\n

Still on the to do list<\/u>:<\/p>\n
