Lucy project continues


Well, it's been a long long week. I was out sick Monday and Tuesday due to a ear infection. Then Thursday my office shifted several of the offices around which sort of messed up the whole day. I did manage to get my check run done in the morning and signed and completed by the time I went home. We had shifted my office the opposite side but I decided I was a right handed person so Ben, Ethan, Cassie and I swiched it back after work Friday. Then I went in on Saturday to sort of straighten up and do a little catch up work. In the evenings I worked on sewing the corners on my project. When I first started the project the idea was to have 9 inch blocks, then because I messed up, they ended up 6 inch blocks. It also went from two lap quilts to 1. Which also means that all the corner squares I cut ended up only enough for one pile of squares. So tonight I cut out more strips and then into squares. I usually use a marker and do a line from corner to corner. I also sometimes just fold into a triangle and press... so that's how I decided to do it this time. I got all the way up to the pressing and had to quilt for the night and watch the Yankees game.
Monday night I'll do the pressing and then maybe start the stitching again. I want to have the blocks to the point I can put the blocks on the wall and see how the layout will look.
Hope everyone had a great Halloween.
