Christa Watson has a new pattern out called Stepping Stones<\/a>. It looks like a reimagined Rail Fence to me, but who am I to say? I had to stop contemplating the names of blocks, however and get back to sewing.<\/p>\n

Stepping Stones Border Block – Left Side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I try to make a CrockPot meal for Mondays so that we can come home, eat and I can go to Craft Night in a timely manner. Craft Night was at my house on Monday and the meal was over and done before I even needed to prepare the tea and all. I had about half an hour of time, so I raced up to my workroom and sewed! I didn’t have a lot of time over the weekend to sew, so this was a good way to scratch that itch for sewing.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t able to finish a lot, but every little bit helps. I had cut some fabric, so I could work on a couple of border blocks, which I did. These blocks will allow me to put together another row of the top.<\/p>\n

The green and blue HSTs indicate the middle of the quilt and prove I am halfway finished with the top. I know you believe me, but sometimes I need to prove to myself I am making progress as slow as that progress might be.<\/p>\n

Aside from cutting more pieces, which I have mentioned<\/a>, I have to make a few more HSTs. I can’t actually see one corner of the quilt, because there is some stuff piled in front of it ( \ud83d\ude41 , I know). Once I sew the latest row to the top, I’ll be able to pull the quilt up and really work on the bottom.<\/p>\n

Progress might be painfully slow, but I am making progress. It would be really great to finish this top before July 7, but we will see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
